Walter Lewy (1905–1995, Dortmund, Germany) was a German-born Brazilian painter and illustrator best known for his surrealist and symbolic visual language. Forced to flee Nazi persecution, he immigrated to São Paulo in 1938, where he developed a rich oeuvre blending dreamlike imagery, spiritual connotations, and botanical references. A self-taught artist, Lewy produced paintings, drawings, and graphic works often featuring fantastical figures, anthropomorphic forms, and abstract landscapes. His early training in lithography and illustration influenced the precision of his compositions. In Brazil, he participated in major exhibitions, including the São Paulo Biennials (1951, 1960, 1965, 1969), and organized retrospectives at the MAM-SP. Today, Lewy is recognized as a key figure in Brazilian surrealism and the art of exile.

Surrealist Painting By Charles Oscar American Circa 1956
By Charles Oscar
Located in Hudson, NY
A rare piece to be found. Due to his early demise the number of works available by this artist are limited. His work can be found in every major collection in the United States. He was a Guggenheim Fellow, Museum of Modern Art Curator and rising Futurist Artist who was murdered in his New York apartment in 1961 when he was only 38 years old.
Titled "Hypnerotomachia", the name means 'the act of falling in love in a dream'. This amazing and rare piece was created just one year after his success with exhibiting at the Venice Biennale of 1956. Semi-abstract composition and very dream like. This painting retains the original carved and gilded Hydenryk frame and has been professionally cleaned and conserved.
His work can be found in every major collection in the United States. Charles Oscar...
