In Sam Borenstein, Léo Rosshandler offers his perspective on Borenstein’s artistic evolution: “Concomitant with the changes he brought to landscape painting, Borenstein became more daring, more personal in his flower pieces. Here too he is aware that the descriptive approach will not bring out all he wants to express. [...] Unlike landscape, where depth is of the essence, and, as we have seen, closer to the surface treatment.” [1]
