Landès Lewitin

Painting

Landès Lewitin was an American painter and theorist associated with the postwar New York School. Born in Cairo and trained in Paris, he became a founding member of The Club, a central discussion forum for artists involved in Abstract Expressionism. Known for his use of color, collage, and symbolism, Lewitin exhibited widely but remained philosophically independent of dominant art world trends.
