Morton Levin
Painter, printmaker, and teacher, Morton Levin continues to create works that greatly enrich the body of contemporary art.
Born in New York City, he studied painting there with Doris Rosenthal and Max Wilkes and then went on to
study etching and engraving with Federico Castellon. He
later went to Paris where he continued his study
of etching and engraving with Stanley William Hayter at his
renowned Atelier 17. During his stay in Paris,
he studied painting at the Acadamie de la Grande Chaumier,
and with Andre Lhote; and sculpture with Ossip Zadkine.
Morton Levin's work has been exhibited in the
Seattle Art Museum; the National Academy of
Design; the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.;
the Salon de Mai, Paris; and the International Exhibition, Genoa,
Italy. The public was introduced to his work at his first
one man show at the Gallery Breteau in Paris where he
received acclaim from both the public and critics alike.
Since then, his work has been continually shown in
the United States. Recognition of its beauty and importance has
grown so that now it is included in many important public and
private collections both here in America and abroad.
