Carlo Levi

Carlo Levi (1902 - 1975) was active/lived in Italy, France.  Carlo Levi is known for Realism, portrait and landscape painting and sculpture.

Carlo Levi was born in 1902 in Turin. Around 1922, the young Carlo became friends with Piero Gobetti, who invited him to collaborate with his magazine "La Revolution Liberale" and in 1923 he wrote the first article on his painting for "The New Order". Gobetti introduced him to the Casorati school, around which the young Turin avant-garde gravitates. Thus works were born (Self-portrait, 1923; Arcadia, 1923; Brother and sister, 1925) which are influenced by the stylistic lesson of the master, but which also demonstrate Levi's openness to the artists of the "new objectivity" (Kanoldt, Schad, Beckmann ). In these years Levi appears inserted in the cultural environment of Turin: he frequented Cesare Pavese, Giacomo Noventa, Antonio Gramsci, Luigi Einaudi and later Edoardo Persico, Lionello Venturi, Luigi Spazzapan. In 1923 he stayed for the first time in Paris and from 1924, the year in which he graduated in medicine, to 1927 he kept a studio there. Around 1927 his painting underwenC.L.
