About the artist

Jack Levine

American

1915-2010

Jack Levine was a painter and printmaker best known for political and social commentaries. His inspiration came from satirical German expressionist artists, such as George Grosz and Oskar Kokoscha, and took stylistic cues from the paintings of Titian, Diego Velázquez, and Francisco de Goya. Levine ridiculed 20th-century issues—inequality, big business, militarism, racism, political corruption, and human folly—to express disappointment in American culture. During a trip to Europe after World War II, Levine was influenced by the style of El Greco, and he started creating figures with exaggerated, distorted, taffy-like faces to suggest the effects of excessive power.
