About the Item

John Levee (American, 1924 - 2017) was an American abstract expressionist who studied at the California Institute of Art alongside Mark Rothko, Clifford Still, and Richard Diebenkorn, later continuing at the Académie Julian in Paris where he worked in Montparnasse and connected with Sam Francis. His early work drew inspiration from the New York School, including Kline, Motherwell, Pollock, and de Kooning. After experimenting with hard-edge geometric abstraction in the 1960s, he returned to a spontaneous, lyrical approach, often incorporating collage and gestural brushwork. The original Levee in this year’s Masters Exhibit is a vibrant oil on canvas, featuring dynamic brushstrokes and deep impasto, exemplifying his expressive intensity. Signed and dated lower left
