From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charlotte Streifer Rubinstein (December 14, 1921[1] – November 7, 2013) was an American teacher of art and art history and an early innovator in the teaching of women-in-art history courses.[2] She was born to Lillian Kaufman and Aaron Streifer in Harlem, New York, and moved to Brooklyn shortly thereafter.[1][3]
Her art education began with exploring the various art museums in her hometown of Brooklyn, followed by training with Works Progress Administration (WPA) artists during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs during the Great Depression.[1] She received a BA degree in art from Hunter College in 1941, Master of Fine Arts degree in Print-making and Design from the Otis-Parsons Art Institute and the Master of Arts degree in Art and Education from the Teachers College of Columbia University.
