John Harrison LEVEE

Painter

John Harrison Levee is an American painter born April 10, 1924 in Los Angeles, United States and died January 18, 2017 in Paris. He had lived in France since 1949. John Levee knows his influence and participates in the development of the "hard edge", consisting of geometric shapes well defined in relation to each other as well as full painted forms, in reaction to an abstract gestural painting deemed too lyrical. In recent years, the artist has become interested in the use of mixed media on cardboard, assuming an abstraction more distant from this geometric art to which he had devoted a large part of his work.
