February 17, 1947-May 3, 2020
Stanley (Stan) Lindwasser, a resident of Beacon for 4 years, died on May 3, 2020, in his home in Beacon, N.Y., of pulmonary fibrosis, with his wife and children nearby.
Stan was an extremely prolific painter for over 50 years; his last solo show was at Oak Vino in Beacon in 2019. His works, both large and small, were painted with acrylics on canvas. These works evoked in the viewer landscapes, sky, water, rocks, and mountains. He also showed locally with BeaconArts, and at the Rhinebeck Bank. Previously he exhibited at the Barrett Art Center and in SoHo, as well as Manhattan galleries and in New Jersey. Stan’s Artist Statement and career history are available at his website.
A native of Brooklyn, Stan lived there and in Forest Hills, N.Y., and Hoboken, N.J., until coming to the Hudson Valley with his wife, Helen Crohn. He loved the sunsets over the Hudson, the rock formations and the mountains surrounding the town, and used them for inspiration for his work and his peaceful surroundings. He loved collecting books and art objects from his travels.
Stan always said he wanted to continue painting as long as he was capable; he produced his last works in April 2020. In addition to his wife, he is survived by three children, Aliza Benson, Jacob Lindwasser and Mike Lindwasser, and three grandchildren, Daniel, Joshua and Eden.
