Spanierman Gallery, LLC is pleased to announce the opening, on February 20, 2003, of Hayley Lever (1876-1958), an exhibition and sale that highlights key aspects of this talented Australian-American artist’s career, ranging from his deftly-rendered portrayals of the Cornish seacoast to his equally remarkable views of New York City, New England and New Jersey. As demonstrated by the sixty oils and works on paper that comprise the exhibition, Lever was a versatile artist who embraced the modern spirit without sacrificing naturalistic interpretation. Lauded by critics of his day for his “invigoratingly personal point of view,” he was a tremendously prolific artist whose oils, drawings and watercolors reveal his aesthetic individualism and his distinctive treatment of color, line and form. The exhibition will be accompanied by a 112-page catalogue (available from the gallery for $40.00 postpaid) with forty color plates, featuring an essay, chronology and bibliography by Carol Lowrey and a preface by Marte Previti.
