Jean Edelstein

|
Jean Edelstein was born in Brooklyn, New York to Polish/Romanian immigrant parents. She moved to Southern California to pursue a career in fashion illustration in 1940, but quickly turned her interests to the fine arts. She became involved in painting from real-time dance performances and was eventually asked to partake in the dance performances, painting large scale wall murals, the "Let's Dance" series, of the dancers while the audience looked on. These performances have been staged throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, and consistently employed avant garde performers in Los Angeles and Balinese dancers in Indonesia where she merges music, dance and art.<ref name=Brown/> Edelstein's Chinese accordion book art is the artist's latest body of artwork. Using the pleated scrolls, she chronicles dance performances and landscape, particularly China's Guilin and Stone Mountain landscapes and Southern California Japanese zen gardens. |
