"To Hell with Ho Chi Minn," Folk/Naive Painting, Acrylic on Board with Artist's Painted Wood Frame, 24 x 17 Inches, by Self-Taught artist Elias Telles. Telles is a Vietnam vet who unfortunately suffered from undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder, who took up painting as a way of dealing with his condition. This painting is a particularly poignant and whimsical abstraction inspired by Tellles's memories of the war. Fifteen years ago, Elias Telles woke from a dream in which an angel holding a lit candle was descending a staircase. The next morning he tore some wood from a dilapidated fence and started painting angels. Elias had already led an adventurous existence before becoming a self-taught painter. Born into a family of 14 siblings in East Los Angeles, he joined the Marine Corps upon graduation from high school and served two years in Vietnam as a rifleman. It wasn’t until he was in his late ‘40s that he started to paint. At a local flea market one of his early works caught the attention of a set designer who placed it in a Steve Martin movie and from there his reputation grew: paintings subsequently appeared in a number of other productions which created a Hollywood following and his collectors now include several film directors, work is included in the permanent collection of The House of Blues, and he was one of the featured artists on the PBS series ‘Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations.’ An ex-marine, Telles lives quietly in California without a computer or a cell phone. His tastes lean towards American history and early blues and country music, subjects that frequently appear in his paintings. Soldiers, skeletons and honky-tonk men populate his paintings as do cultural and historical figures such as early minstrel show entertainer Gus Cannon, a ghoulishly-rendered Hank Williams, and the revered Alabama folk artist Bill Traylor...

This striking 1970 mixed media work on paper by Léon Levkovitch presents a dense, expressionist gathering of fragmented human figures against a charcoal-grey ground. Elongated faces, angular bodies and overlapping limbs create an enigmatic composition that evokes ancient ritual, archaic sculpture and the psychological intensity of post-war European figurative art. The palette combines smoky black, charcoal, warm ochre, muted yellow, chalky white and delicate accents of pink, rust and pale blue. Rapid linear marks intersect with translucent washes and irregular areas of pigment, giving the surface a raw, tactile quality. The figures appear simultaneously human, sculptural and symbolic, their simplified anatomies recalling ancient Mediterranean civilizations rather than conventional naturalistic representation. Levkovitch's fascination with Etruscan art provides a meaningful context for understanding this work. Although the composition is not a literal archaeological reconstruction, its hieratic figures and compressed spatial arrangement suggest an imaginative dialogue with archaic visual traditions. The work also reflects the expressive figuration associated with the École de Paris. For collectors of mid-century French art, European expressionism and figurative works on paper, this signed composition offers an evocative example of Levkovitch's distinctive artistic language. TECHNICAL DETAILS Technique : Mixed media on paper Date : 1970 Dimensions : 29 × 42 cm (11.42 × 16.54 in) Framed dimensions : 40 × 50 cm (15.75 × 19.69 in) Signature : Signed lower right ABOUT THE ARTIST Léon Levkovitch (1936–2025) was a Polish-born artist who settled in Paris in 1961. He graduated from the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Łódź in 1960, where he studied under Zdzisław Głowacki. In 1970, he furthered his training in lithography at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Working across painting, drawing and sculpture, Levkovitch developed a distinctive visual language combining expressive figuration, symbolic imagery and richly textured surfaces. His artistic approach reflects the international environment of the École de Paris, while drawing on historical and mythological subjects and the visual traditions of ancient civilizations. Etruscan art was a particularly important influence on his sculptural practice. The stylized figures, archaic forms and deliberate disregard for conventional proportions found in his work reveal an interest in the expressive power of ancient imagery rather than classical naturalism. He also explored mixed techniques, combining painting and drawing with engraved details and subtle relief effects. Levkovitch exhibited from the early 1960s onwards, with a career that developed in France and subsequently extended to Poland and other international contexts. His work occupies an individual position within postwar European figurative art, bringing together ancient references and a personal, tactile approach to representation.
