Charles Levier Contemporary Art

French, 1920-2003

Charles Levier was born on January 26, 1920, in Corsica. He was the son of a French father and an American mother. He held a fascination with color and form that led him, at age 17, to the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris for private studies. World War II came along and Levier served in the French Army in North Africa, later becoming Liaison Officer with the U.S. Office of Strategic Services. Paintings by Levier can be found in countless private and public collections. Among those collectors are Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, Adlai Stevenson, Baron Edmond de Rothschild, Prince and Princess Poniatowski, Mrs. Dan Topping, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Martin and many others. Levier died in 2003.

By Charles Levier
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful, engaging, and somewhat rare original large oil on board nude painting by French artist Charles Levier (1920-2003). Levier was born in 1920 to a French father and an American mother in Corsica. At the age of 17, he studies at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs. His studies were interrupted by World War II during which time Levier served in the French Army in North Africa and later became a liaison officer with the U.S. Office of Strategic Services. This would inspire him to move to the United States to pursue a career in art (he spent his future years between America and France). His first one-man show took place in 1949 in Lyons at the Galerie Constantine. The following year he had his first solo exhibition in America. In 1955 his work was on exhibit at the Galleries de Colisee in Paris. Today Levier's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including: The Museum of Modern Art in Paris The Menton Museum in Paris The Atlanta Museum, GA The Seattle Museum, WA The Evansville Museum, IN The New Orleans Museum, LA The San Diego Museum, CA The work is signed by Levier at the lower left within the image.

Original Bernard Damiano Mid-Century Painting Nudes
By Bernard Damiano
Located in Miami, FL
Original expressionist painting by Bernardo Damiano (also known as Bernard Damiano). He was an Italian expressionist painter and sculptor born on January 10, 1926 in Coni (Piemonte), Italy and died in Nice, France on June 24, 2000. His classical art formation was at the Academia Albertina in Turino, Italy. His works are numerous and well known. It is precisely during the 1970s that Bernard Damiano's painting is said to have moved away from a relationship with Jean Dubuffet, the Art brut or the Cobra movement, in "a nervous touch and a triturated paste" to draw his style from the rest of Expressionism. This proposal is however stated with reserve: like the Spanish Eduardo Pisano...

Flower by Caroline Rennequin 2021 Gouache on Handmade Indian Paper
By Caroline Rennequin
Located in Santa Gertrudis, Baleares
In 2020, Caroline Rennequin painted 350 flowers. Including a series of 301 gouaches on handmade Indian paper, in a work that narrates the aesthetics of the feminine and its relationship with nature, which she endlessly colors with a living palette. Flowers with rounded and feminine contours, influenced by the 1970s. She uses gouache, an impulsive and immediate technique. A sometimes childish vocabulary in the gesture, without being regressive. Her artistic work revolves around her relationship to nature, whether real or fictitious. This work has been shown for the first time in October 2021 at Galeria Tambien...
