Forum Gallery, located at 745 Fifth Avenue in New York City will exhibit David Levine: American Presidents & Selected Paintings from October 02, 2008 to November 08, 2008.

A new book, American Presidents: David Levine's Vivid Sketchbook of American History will be published by Fantagraphics Books; the video also contains excerpts from the introduction by Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.

The artist was interviewed at Forum Gallery earlier this year. Portions of this interview are included, as well as a selection of his political caricatures and watercolors of Coney Island and the Garment District of New York City.

Very sad that we have lost one of THE greatest caricaturists of our time. RIP David.

If you have an interest in David's history, and that of some of his contemporaries (Burt Silverman, Harvey Dinnerstein, Daniel Bennett Schwartz), check out my new video "The View from Here" now available for video download from Amazon.com, and due out shortly on DVD from them as well. You can view the trailer for the video on my YouTube channel.
