Work

edit

Franklin Einspruch has been an artist in residence at the Sam & Adele Golden Foundation for the Arts, [5] the Heliker-LaHotan Foundation,[6] the Morris Graves Foundation,[1] and the Aegean Center for the Fine Arts.[7] The critic Don Wilkinson has described his work as "handsome expressionist painting, grounded in reality, yet veering toward the abstract."[8]

Einspruch's art criticism and other writing has appeared in publications including The New Criterion,[9] The Spectator,[10] The New York Sun,[11] The Miami New Times,[12] Art Critical,[2] City Journal,[13] The Arts Fuse,[14] and Art in America.[15] His writing has been cited in The New York Times Magazine[16] and The Washington Post.[17]

Einspruch's blog, Artblog.net, began in 2003 and is one of the longest-running blogs about visual art. [18] He edits the Walter Darby Bannard Archive[19] and edited a compilation of Bannard's art advice, Aphorisms for Artists which was published in 2022 by Letter16 Press.[20]

An interview with Einspruch was featured on the .art domain website as an early adopter of that top-level domain.[21]

Comics Poetry

[22] He edited and published the first anthology of comics poetry, Comics as Poetry, in 2012. [23] In 2018 he was chosen to be the Fulbright/Q21-MuseumsQuartier Artist-in-Residence for the 2018-19 award year. His project as a Fulbright scholar was a cycle of comics poems about Vienna, titled (and published at) Regarding Th.at.[24][25] Einspruch published a work of comics poetry in 2018 titled Cloud on a Mountain.
