Biography
Marvin Goldstein was born and raised in NYC, the son of a luncheonette owner who studied and graduated from The Cooper Union, Pratt Institute and Brooklyn College. A Ford Foundation Grant and a Fulbright Grant in the 60’s, facilitated his early work in Berlin, Europe and New York. At this time, he explored sculpture, painted three dimensional forms and developed large free form collage/constructions.
Marvin was a professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University teaching etching, silk screening and 3D design. Computers excited him as a teacher and became a revelation for him as an artist. Marvin received a competitive grant from the New Jersey Board of Higher Education and was able to introduce computers into the visual arts programs at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Continuing to create art throughout life he is now working to embody a new chapter of discovery. Marvin is producing intensely focused, personal, abstract expressions, the newest work influenced and shaped partially by climate change.
