From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jack Levine (b. Boston, Massachusetts, January 3, 1915) is an American expressionist painter best known for his satires of modern life in the United States.

He was a part of the Social Realism school in the 1930s and was for a time employed by the Works Progress Administration. Along with the Boston painters Hyman Bloom and Karl Zerbe, he became associated with the style known as Boston Expressionism.[1]

Together with Bloom, Levine studied with Denman Ross at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, from 1929 to 1931, and also studied at Colby College under Harold Zimmerman.
