CHARLES LEVIER – UNTITLED [BOUQUET SUR TABLE ROUGE]
Oil on Canvas ⚜ Signed Lower Right ⚜ Custom Conservation Frame ⚜ Provenance Label on Verso
A VIBRANT MIDCENTURY FLORAL STILL LIFE WITH RICH TEXTURE & EMOTIVE COLOR
This expressive floral still life by Charles Levier, painted circa 1955 and hand-signed lower right, showcases his signature blend of abstraction and structure. Titled descriptively Untitled [Bouquet sur table rouge], the composition centers on a dynamic bouquet in a tall blue vase placed on a rich red table surface. Bold swaths of green foliage and warm-hued blossoms emerge from a saturated background of golden yellow, ochre, and umber, creating a tactile and emotionally charged atmosphere.
Presented in a custom conservation-grade wood frame with a canvas liner, the piece is in excellent condition. A gallery label from the Martin Lowitz Gallery in Los Angeles is affixed to the verso, offering a rare glimpse into the artist’s early U.S. exhibition history.

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.
After serving as a military liaison during World War II, Levier divided his time between France and the United States, building a successful postwar career with solo exhibitions in Paris, New York, and Los Angeles. His distinctive style — bold outlines, Cubist geometry, and richly layered color fields — was shaped by modernist pioneers including Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
Levier’s work was collected by cultural icons such as Frank Sinatra, Jackie Kennedy, and Dean Martin, and remains in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Modern Art (Paris), the Menton Museum, the Atlanta Museum, and others.
Levier passed away in 2003, leaving behind a compelling body of work that bridges French modernism and American midcentury design. His paintings continue to captivate collectors seeking striking compositions with refined structure and atmosphere.

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.
