Painter, printmaker, and teacher, Morton Levin continues to create works that greatly enrich the body of contemporary art. Born in New York City, he studied etching and engraving with Federico Castellon. He later went to Paris where he continued his study of etching and engraving with Stanley William Hayter at his renowned Atelier 17. During his stay in Paris, he studied painting at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere, and with Andre Lhote; and sculpture with Ossip Zadkine. In N.Y.C. he studied lithography at the Pratt Graphics Art Center.
Morton Levin's work has been exhibited in the Seattle Art Museum; the National Academy of Design; The Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; the Salon de Mai, Paris; and the International Exhibition, Genoa, Italy. The public was introduced to his work at his first one man show at the Gallery Breteau in Paris where he received acclaim from both the public and critics alike. Since then, his work has been shown in the United States at The Far Gallery, Weyhe Gallery and others in N.Y.C. and at Winston Gallery, in San Francisco. Recognition of its beauty and importance has grown so that now Morton Levin's work is included in the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; the National Library of Medicine, Maryland, and private collections in America and abroad.
His work was published in the magazine "Yellow Silk", "Print World", and a variety of other publications and catalogues.
