Synopsis

American artist Jack Levine was born on January 3, 1915, in Boston, Massachusetts, to parents who were Jewish Lithuanian immigrants. After art studies in Boston, Levine became recognized as a social realist painter. He satirized contemporary society and politics in works like "The Feast of Pure Reason" and "Finger of Newt." At the age of 95, Levine died in New York City on November 8, 2010.

In the 1960s, Levine experimented with printmaking, though he continued to work primarily as a painter. The 1939 death of his devout father had inspired Levine to begin painting ancient Jewish leaders and from time to time he returned to biblical subjects. Levine also remained interested in contemporary social issues. Later works such as the large-scale painting titled "Panethnikon" (1978) and the group portrait "Finger of Newt" (1993-98) were acerbic portrayals of national politicians and world leaders.

This is the complete illustrated catalogue of his 81 original prints. Each is described and illustrated.
