Lot description

Jack Levine (American 1915-2010) Election Night engraving and aquatint on paper plate 9 x 12" 21 x 22" as framed. - Levine studied with Harold Zimmerman and Denman Ross while still a teenager, and his early work reflects their emphasis on Old Master traditions. In 1935, shortly after its formation, Levine joined the WPA's Federal Art Project, where he was employed intermittently until 1939. In 1937, while with the WPA, Levine painted The Feast of Pure Reason, the work that catapulted him to fame. Levine is noted as a social realist and draws his subjects—sometimes scenes sympathetic to the socially oppressed and sometimes satiric commentaries on social and political situations from contemporary life.
