Oliver Foss Paintings

French, 1920-2002

Oliver Foss studied at the Lycée Pasteur, Lycée Janson-de-Sailly, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts under Paul Colin and Jean Théodore Dupas and with George Bridgman at the Art Students League of New York. Following his studies, Foss traveled to New York City where he worked with Maria Annot and Ruth Jacoby, who organized his first one-man exhibition at the Riverside Museum. Foss also exhibited at the New School for Social Research, the world's fair in 1964, National Arts Club and Alma Reed Gallery, among others. Foss moved to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania where he taught fine arts at the Elizabethtown College until 1949 when he returned to Paris and settled into an atelier in Villa des Ternes. In 1951, Foss had a one-man exhibition tour of the United States showing in New York City, Boston, Palm Beach and Philadelphia. In 1953, he had a career-changing exhibition at the Galerie Drouant-David on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris that drew wide praise and promoters for international exhibitions that led to one-man shows in Paris, New York, Italy, Switzerland and Germany.

By David Leviathan

Located in Carmel, CA

David Leviathan (Israeli, born 1964) "Trunks" 2006 Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars The artist signed the back of the painting. David Leviathan's "Trunks" is a 39" x 45" contemporary landscape abstract that captures the essence of a forest's heart. The canvas is alive with a rich tapestry of autumnal hues, ranging from deep umbers to fiery oranges and subtle golds. Leviathan's technique gives rise to a textured surface that mimics the rugged bark of tree trunks, standing tall amidst a flurry of color. The style is both abstract and suggestive, inviting the viewer to feel the organic growth and the cyclical decay inherent in nature. The painting evokes a sense of resilience and majesty, paying homage to the timeless beauty of the natural world. About the Artist: David Leviathan, born on August 6, 1950, in Kibbutz Givat Brenner, Israel, is a multifaceted Israeli artist whose talents span painting, sculpture, and poetry. After serving in the military, he studied at the Avni Institute of Fine Arts and worked under the guidance of Yehezkel Streichman...
