BIOGRAPHY

Levanon is conceived as one of the pioneers of the Israeli art; like many artists in his time, he was enchanted  by the country's special light.

this light and its play of color always stayed with him and his art works.

As an idealistic artist, Levanon believed in the idea of the Jewish people's rebirth in its homeland where spiritual and physical revival went hand in hand.

Some sees levanon as "the Israeli Van Gogh"; similar to Van Gogh in his time, Levanon also yearned after the sublime in his works, he was a magnificent landscape painter, He used to paint the holy cities of Jerusalem and Sfad. These paintings have a magical and mystical quality of a world created through a poetic- artistic vision.

In 1937 Levanon held his first one- man exhibition in Tel Aviv and from that year on, he took part in almost every annual collective exhibition of Israeli Artists.
