We are sad to announce the death of one of America's greatest Social Realist artists, Jack Levine. San Francisco was a second home to Jack and as his West Coast Representative we were pleased to have had four one person shows since 1994. His major painting "Birmingham '63" 1963 is currently on exhibition and owned by the DeYoung Museum and the WPA painting "Nighttown Scene" 1936 is in the permanent collection of SFMOMA.

"I am primarily concerned with the condition of man. The satirical direction I have chosen is an indication of my disappointment in man, which is the opposite way of saying that I have high expectations for the human race."
— Jack Levine (1915-2010)

Paintings in this show depict views of Europe, the Midwest and Northern California with vivid colors and vigorous brushstrokes, reminiscent of European Masters, American Regionalists, and American Scene painters, with a fresh and unique vision.
