He has, however, gone beyond mere affectation to create fantastic narratives and describe metaphysical dramas through a sophisticated understanding of posturing, symbolism, and color. Leff-Cinthus adapts his style to his subject matter, drifting effortlessly between statuesque figures and bizarre otherworldly creatures. His line-work can be powerful and reverberating in some works while being subdued in others in favor of nearly sculptural treatment of forms. At 79, Leff-Cinthus has had a long and varied journey in the arts. He is a musician, composer and playwright; he attended Brooklyn Museum Art School, Cooper Union and was awarded the Max Weber Scholarship at the Art Students’ League in New York, all preceding his 30-year career as a textile designer. Martin H. Leff-Cinthus lives and works in Queens, New York.
