Description:

David A. Leffel (Born 1931) "The Ribbon Scarf" (Nina Gonzales) Oil on Canvas. Signed on lower right, along with title and signature on reverse. Born and raised in New York City, David Leffel is a painter in the style of early Dutch and Flemish painters such as Vermeer and Rembrandt. Following high school graduation, Leffel attended Parsons School of Design and Fordham University and worked odd jobs in California and New York. He enrolled in the Art Students League in New York, and eventually taught there for 20 years. In the 1970s, he took illustration jobs to make money and, having returned full time to his own painting, moved in 1992 to Taos, New Mexico with his partner, Sherrie McGraw, also an artist. Leffel's work reflects a personal belief that a painting must convey a sense of mystery and beauty. Throughout the interplay of light and shadow, through texture and shape and color, Leffel transforms the simple and ubiquitous objects of everyday life into rich creations of enigma and presence. He has earned a considerable number of awards since 1963, including the Gold Medal for Oil from the National Academy of Western Art. His works are held in numerous private collections as well as institutes such as the J.B. Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky, and Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. Artist: David A.
