(1902-1990) art collection, which in 1984, was donated to the McMaster Museum of Art. It represents one of the most significant donations to a university gallery in Canadian history. The exhibition reflects the remarkable acumen of Levy as a collector and
offers visitors a cross-section of art history through the filter of his personal interests, which favoured Impressionist and Post-Impressionist landscapes, portraits, and still lifes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
