Bernard Lewandowski (1910-1989) was a 20th-century modern Polish artist who lived and worked in both Poland and France during World War II. Listed in Davenport's Art Reference, Lewandowski's paintings were frequently auctioned in the U.S. in the 1960s during his visits from Europe. After WWII, he settled in Nice, France, following his service for both Poland and the USA under General Patton, after a near-death experience. Ultimately embracing France as his home, Lewandowski keenly observed contemporary art trends, though he considered his own artistic vision a personal interpretation of the world rather than abstract, aligning with the expressionistic trends of the time. This exceptional Expressionist piece, created sometime between 1945 and 1950, showcases Lewandowski's vibrant color play and dynamic brushstrokes in this coastal landscape. The artwork substrate is panel. This piece is in very good condition, with only minor foxing on the reverse, which is common for a painting of this age. This painting comes with 4" acid free mat
