"Léopold-lévy "landscape No. 2""
Fauvist School. Oil on canvas "Landscape No. 2," signed and dated lower right Léopold-Lévy 21. Countersigned and titled on the reverse of the stretcher. French School. 46.5 x 55.5 cm. Léopold-Lévy (1882-1966) debuted in 1900 at the Salon des Indépendants; the Fauvist tendencies that characterize his early landscapes softened after the war, when he traveled to Provence and discovered La Ciotat, Saint-Tropez, and Cassis. Cézanne's teachings helped him to restrain his baroque impulses and to structure his canvases (Mediterranean Landscapes, 1934, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris).
