An interesting collection of Levine's work with the signatures. Born toLithuanian Jewishparents, Levine grew up in theSouth Endof Boston, where he observed a street life composed ofEuropeanimmigrantsand a prevalence of poverty and societal ills, subjects which would inform his work.[1]He first studied drawing with Harold K. Zimmerman from 1924-1931. AtHarvard Universityfrom 1929 to 1933, Levine and classmateHyman Bloomstudied withDenman Ross. As an adolescent, Levine was already, by his own account, "a formidable draftsman".[2]In 1932 Ross included Levine's drawings in an exhibition at theFogg Art Museumat Harvard, and three years later bequeathed twenty drawings by Levine to the museum's collection.[3]Levine's early work was most influenced by Bloom,Chaim Soutine,Georges Rouault, andOskar Kokoschka.[4]Along with Bloom andKarl Zerbe, he became associated with the style known asBoston Expressionism.[5]From 1935 to 1940 he was employed by theWorks Progress Administration. His first exhibition of paintings inNew York Citywas at theMuseum of Modern Art, with the display ofCard GameandBrain Trust, the latter drawn from his observation of life in theBoston Common.[4]In 1937 hisThe Feast of Pure Reason, a satire of Boston political power, was placed on loan to theMuseum of Modern Art. In the same yearString Quartetwas shown at theWhitney Museum of American Art, and purchased in 1942 by theMetropolitan Museum of Art.[3]The death of his father in 1939 prompted a series of paintings of Jewishsages.[6]From 1942 to 1945 Levine served in theArmy. Upon his discharge from service he paintedWelcome Home, a lampoon of the arrogance of military power; years later the painting would engender political controversy when it was included in a show of art inMoscow, and along with works by other American artists, raised suspicions in theHouse Un-American Activities Committeeof pro-Communistsympathies.[7]In 1946 he married the painterRuth Gikowand moved toNew York City.With aFulbright granthe traveled toEuropein 1951, and was affected by the work of theOld Masters, particularly theMannerismofEl Greco, which inspired him to distort and exaggerate the forms of his figures for expressive purposes.[1]After returning he continued to paint biblical subjects, and also producedGangster Funeral, a narrative which Levine referred to as a "comedy".[8]Further commentary on American life was furnished byElection Night(1954),Inauguration(1958), andThirty- Five Minutes from Times Square(1956). Also in the late 1950s, Levine painted a series of sensitive portraits of his wife and daughter. In the 1960s Levine responded not only to political unrest in the United States with works such asBirmingham '63, but to international subjects as well, as inThe Spanish Prison(195962), and later still,Panethnikon(1978), andThe Arms Brokers, 1982-83. Following the death of his wife in the 1980s came an increased interest inHebraism, and with it a proliferation of paintings with themes from theOld Testament.[9]In 1979 he was elected into theNational Academy of Designas an Associate member and became a full Academician in 1982.
