WINGWALKER II, 1973

Description

This exhibition comprises an overview of Levin’s body of work during her ten years as a painter. She painted in series, choosing popular political leaders of their day and historical images that were ubiquitous in the culture. Among them: a series on John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a series of historic conferences among FDR, Churchill, DE Gaulle, and Stalin, a series of North African horsemen of the Sahara; wing walkers performing aerial stunts, football players in motion; and the Beatles. What unites them is an unstated theme of power. A series of small canvases (1969-70), titled, “Action Paintings,” depict couples transformed from pornographic photo postcards of the 1920s into erotic studies of the human form.
