About the Item
A substantial, mid-century Impressionist-style watercolor on Arches paper showing a misty view of turquoise waves rolling into a secluded rocky cove in Big Sur, California
Signed lower right 'Nat Levy' (American, 1896-1984), titled 'Little River' and painted circa 1955.
A notable California watercolorist, Nat Levy was President of the Society of Western Artists. A student of Maynard Dixon and Armin Hansen, he exhibited with success over a long career and was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards.
Reviewing a one-man show of Levy's, the San Francisco Chronicle art critic Alfred Frankenstein once wrote, "Nat Levy's atmospheric renditions are so beautiful they seem as though they were painted with fog on his brush".
