Robert Lavin
Building the Space Simulator

About the Item

Robert "Bob" Lavin (1919 - 1997) Title: "Building the Space Simulator" Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 27.25" x 23.25" Framed Markings: Signed LR "Bob Lavin" Studying the social realists of the 1930s, Lavin, portrayed steelworkers, roughnecks and trainmen. Lavin often painted his proletarian ballets - as one critic called them - to illustrate magazine advertisements. The Smithsonian Institution and other museums collected Lavin’s original paintings, which portrayed the laboring subjects with dignity and integrity. Lavin also illustrated stock certificates and books. In addition to this, Lavin was for a number of years an Associate Professor of Art at City College of New York, a position he left in the mid ‘60’s in order to devote himself full time to his painting.
