Harvey Dinnerstein is a realist painter from Brooklyn, New York. Probably his most famous painting is "The Yankee Clipper" a painting of
Joe DiMaggio at bat.

His paintings are hyper realistic and larger than life. He is still living and teaching in New York City, and his daughter, Simone Dinnerstein, is the famous classical pianist.
