Robert Neffson

Robert Neffson (b. 1949, New York, New York) often incorporates detailed street scenes and window reflections into his paintings of New York City. While cityscapes helped to launch Neffson’s career, in recent years, he has broadened his subject matter to include the architectural elements found in museum interiors. Neffson’s paintings are held in notable collections including New York Life Insurance Company in NY, Roswell Museum and Art Center in Roswell, NM, and Wellington Management Company in Boston, MA. He received both his B.F.A. and M.F.A. from Boston University.
