About the Item
CHARLES LEVIER – UNTITLED STREET SCENE
Oil on Board ⚜ Signed Lower Right ⚜ Original Gilt Frame
A VIBRANT MIDCENTURY CITYSCAPE BY A MODERN MASTER
This original oil on board by Charles Levier captures a stylized urban street scene rendered in his signature midcentury modern aesthetic. The vertical lines of bare trees contrast against pastel-hued buildings, while silhouetted figures add rhythm and life to the composition. The color palette — soft greens, dusty pinks, and warm earth tones — is balanced by black linear accents and strategic use of white space.
Executed circa 1960 and hand-signed lower right, the work reflects Levier’s skill at balancing abstraction and representation, drawing the viewer into a familiar yet simplified world. The painting retains its original period wood frame with ornate gilt accents, complemented by a refreshed conservation canvas liner that enhances the overall presentation.

THE ARTIST:
Born in Corsica in 1920, Charles Levier developed an internationally recognized career as a modernist painter, known for his stylized still lifes, cityscapes, harbors, and figurative works. He studied at L'École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs where he was influenced by mentors André Lhote and Georges Rouault.
Levier’s career was interrupted by his service in World War II, where he acted as a liaison between the French Army and the U.S. Office of Strategic Services. After the war, he divided his time between France and the United States, eventually debuting his first American solo exhibition in Los Angeles in 1950.
By the mid-20th century, Levier had become a favorite among both collectors and celebrities, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jackie Kennedy, Baron Edmond de Rothschild, and Peter Lawford. His distinctive style draws on the bold outlines and layered color fields of Cubism, particularly the innovations of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
His works are now held in important museum collections such as the National Museum of Modern Art (Paris), the Menton Museum of Art, the Atlanta Museum, the Seattle Museum, and the San Diego Museum.
Levier continued to produce dynamic, modernist works until his passing in 2003. His paintings remain highly sought after for their blend of French modernism and midcentury American sensibilities.

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.
