Feitelson was born the same year as fellow artist John McLaughlin, making the two artists the elders of the four painters in the groundbreaking 1959 exhibition. Feitelson was raised in New York and moved to Los Angeles in 1927. In the 1930s, he taught at Stickney Memorial Art School, where he met the student/painter Helen Lundeberg; they were married in 1933. Feitelson was arguably one of the most important artists in Los Angeles in the 1950s and had his own NBC television show, which was nationally syndicated, called Feitelson on Art.

Feitelson nació el mismo año que su colega John McLaughlin, lo que convierte a los dos artistas en los de mayor edad de los cuatro pintores de la innovadora exposición de 1959. Feitelson se crió en Nueva York y se trasladó a Los Ángeles en 1927. En la década de 1930 impartió clases en la Stickney Memorial Art School, donde conoció a la estudiante y pintora Helen Lundeberg; se casaron en 1933. Feitelson fue sin duda uno de los artistas más importantes de Los Ángeles en la década de 1950 y tuvo su propio programa de televisión en la NBC, que se emitió a escala nacional, llamado Feitelson on Art.
