Isadore Lévy - Branford 1971 - Oil on canvas

Isadore Lévy (1899-1989) Branford oil on canvas signed, dated and titled Dimensions 74 x 39 cm This striking work explores the vibrant palette of geometric abstraction. Framed in a rectangular format, the painting features a series of overlapping rectangles, each delineating a distinct shade. The bold colors—blue, yellow, purple, and red—are intensely textured, creating a captivating visual depth. The contrast between the vibrant yellow and the more subtle tones emphasizes a harmonious dynamic. The jagged edges of the shapes evoke movement and spontaneity, suggesting a fluid interplay between order and chaos. The grainy gray background adds a raw dimension, accentuating the work's modern character. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Isadore Levy studied in France and at the Pennsylvania Academy. An American ex-patriot, he left America for Europe after receiving an art scholarship at age 20. Continuing his studies in Paris, Levy exhibited with the School of Paris circle, then in New York. After a 15-year return to America with his French wife during the European Fascist years, he returned to France in 1950. His widow held a retrospective in Parisian suburb Maisons-Lafitte in 1990. His exhibits included the Salons des Independants; Autumn Fairs; Galerie Vignon (Leger's major gallery and the first gallery to showcase Calder's mobiles), Wildenstein, and Charles Egan
