Alan Feltus (born 1 May 1943) is an American artist, known for his "silent" figurative paintings. After receiving his MFA from Yale University in 1968, he was awarded the Prix de Rome at the American Academy in Rome, where he spent two years (1970–1972) developing his own singular identity as an artist. Feltus taught painting at the American University between 1972 and 1984. In 1987 he and his wife, the artist Lani Irwin, moved with their two sons to Italy, where they have lived and worked to this day.
