Picassos actor at the met

Picasso's Actor at the Met

Piece description from the artist

Once again I took a painting by Picasso that's at the Met called the Actor – 1905, and placed the main figure in an imaginary scene inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I enjoyed immensely bringing these ideas to life on canvas.

About Philip Levine

New York, NY

Ever since Philip started painting 30 years ago there was one main focus that resonated with him: the figure. He studied anatomy for artists and spent hundreds of hours learning, experimenting with color, composition, and drawing. Because he's spent well over a thousand hours painting the figure from life it's enabled him to stretch out and create more interesting canvases using the camera as a tool. Some of the themes he's painted include NYC street scenes, boxing (he boxed years ago), the Civil War, the Indian Wars and a series of paintings of imaginary scenes inside museums pulling together a variety of images to create those paintings.
