About Thorpe
Thorpe Feidt (1940-2024) was a prolific painter based out of Ipswich, MA, and was a beloved professor of art and art history at Montserrat College, where he began teaching in 1973. One of his most significant projects was a series called The Ambiguities, which started in 1975 and was inspired by Herman Melville’s book, Pierre, or The Ambiguities. Although Melvi
lle's book didn’t receive much praise from the public, Feidt found a deep connection to it and created his series as a response. His early paintings in The Ambiguities featured darker colors and themes, but as the series evolved, he became known for vibrant bursts of color. Towards the end of his life, after being diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2018, his works shifted back to that initial darkness, symbolizing a return to his beginnings.
