Harvey Dinnerstein, who in addition to his paintings and drawings was also a longtime art teacher, died on June 21 in Brooklyn. He was 94.

Mr. Dinnerstein came of age in the early 1950s. Unmoved by Abstract Expressionism, he followed in the artistic tradition of realists, depicting the life around him: on the subway, in parks, outside brownstones like his own in Brooklyn.

Mr. Dinnerstein taught for 40 years at the Art Students League. He also taught at the School of Visual Arts and the National Academy of Design.
