Charles Levier
Charles Levier was born on January 26, 1920, in Corsica. He was the son of a French father and an American mother. He held a fascination with color and form that led him, at age 17, to the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris for private studies. World War II came along and Levier served in the French Army in North Africa, later becoming Liaison Officer with the U.S. Office of Strategic Services. Paintings by Levier can be found in countless private and public collections. Among those collectors are Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, Adlai Stevenson, Baron Edmond de Rothschild, Prince and Princess Poniatowski, Mrs. Dan Topping, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Martin and many others. Levier died in 2003.

- Charles Levier Signed Large Mid-Century Modern French Painting Reclining NudeBy Charles LevierLocated in Studio City, CAA beautiful, engaging, and somewhat rare original large oil on board nude painting by French artist Charles Levier (1920-2003). Levier was born in 1920 to a French father and an American mother in Corsica. At the age of 17, he studies at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs. His studies were interrupted by World War II during which time Levier served in the French Army in North Africa and later became a liaison officer with the U.S. Office of Strategic Services. This would inspire him to move to the United States to pursue a career in art (he spent his future years between America and France). His first one-man show took place in 1949 in Lyons at the Galerie Constantine. The following year he had his first solo exhibition in America. In 1955 his work was on exhibit at the Galleries de Colisee in Paris. Today Levier's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including: The Museum of Modern Art in Paris The Menton Museum in Paris The Atlanta Museum, GA The Seattle Museum, WA The Evansville Museum, IN The New Orleans Museum, LA The San Diego Museum, CA The work is signed by Levier at the lower left within the image.
