American Social Realist painter and printmaker (1915–2010) best known for his satires on modern life, political corruption, and biblical narratives. ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, April 30, 1963. Levine responds to a Mr. Thompson. In part: "Your letter was forwarded to me, evidently in a most roundabout way. I'm afraid I can't give you any continuity on the fight to get Siqueiros out of prison. The last I heard was a drive to get the Times ad published in a Mexico City paper. I gathered that enough signers gave permission for their names to be reused, enough money was raised and that it was done. I don't recall, however, who was active in this project…In the other matter, I have the hightest regard for Rockwell Kent as an artist and a man, but sight unseen I would say of the book that I'm not qualified to say anything. I'm a city-dweller, a home-body and these remote places, or inclination toward them is quite beyond me." Intersecting folds, a chipped upper left corner, and slight edge toning, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
