About the Artist
Alan Rubin became a professional artist late in life after a long career as owner-operator of The Biograph Theatre in Washington, D.C. The theatre became a cinema landmark showing independent and classic films for three decades.
He studied at the Pratt Institute in New York and the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C., and has been mentored by his friend, art professor, William Woodward.
“I love to create art that makes the viewer look at life from many camera angles, from many viewpoints, from our collective memory and from the surreal subconscious.”
