Rita Fecher (1934 - 2003) was a painter, illustrator, print maker, and filmmaker whose work documented the significant political and social phenomena happening around her.

She was a teacher whose passion for her students took the form of activism at the height of an era of social revolution. As a whole, Rita's life reflects the challenges and triumphs of her time through her choices, her relationships with people and her work.

The immense body of visual work she left behind exists as a time capsule; a collection of images and artifacts that encapsulate a time in the history of New York City, the country and society as a whole.

Her children - Haskel, Avi and Zev - for whom she made incredible sacrifices during her lifetime, have established this site as a way of honoring the work of their mother and sharing the story of her life through the art that she made.
