Andy Hammerstein wrote the delightful and dishy book, "The Hammersteins: A Musical Theatre Family." In my interview with him in Bedford Magazine, "Getting to Know You: Oscar Andy Hammerstein III", he discussed the dawn of Broadway theater and the brilliance, wit, and whimsy of a prolific family who truly impacted American entertainment.

So being prolific is in his genes! Along with being a writer, this mega-/multi-talent is also a painter whose new work is beautifully articulated with vibrating strips of color that are layered, offset, and repeated at varying intervals. The process creates abstract, moving landscape-like fields whose relationships of color are more important than individual color. 

Hammerstein has strategic discipline in everything he does, be it as a writer or a painter. This current work, at Chroma Fine Art Gallery, illustrates Andy's true mastery of color, interaction, and design.
