Eli LevinEli Levin is one of New Mexico's best-known living, working artists. Starting his career in Santa Fe in 1964, he became recognized for his paintings of local night life. While returning often to his Social Realist roots, his work has also explored myhology, still life, landscape and the nude. The son of novelist Meyer Levin, he has written art reviews and taught art history. He initiated two of Santa Fe's enduring artist's gatherings, a model drawing group that has met since 1969 and The Santa Fe Etching Club, established in 1980. Levin has Master's degrees from Wisconsin University and St. John's College. He continues to paint independently of the major art currents. He is also the author of "Santa Fe Bohemia, The Art Colony, 1964-1980," "Why I Hate Modern Art," and "Disturbing Art Lessons," all from Sunstone Press. Read More Read Less
