My goal in this collection is to create an ongoing flow of new works for the Foundation.app community. I use traditional materials digitally deconstructed and then reformed to create a new “Hafftka experience”.
My work of the past 47 years, both in analog and digital media, has been shown in galleries and museums all over the world. My work is represented in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Carnegie Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, New York Public Library, Housatonic Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Yeshiva University Museum and other museums.

Hafftka World

Anatomy Lesson is based on my painting by that name which I created in 1987. The creation of the physical painting was documented by film maker Michael Perez and the documentary is available on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/93781273. 

I have chosen this title because for me this painting relates to the Portrait of Dr. Samuel D. Gross (The Gross Clinic) by Thomas Eakins from 1875. This new version is animated in Photoshop.
