Leepa: Abstract Dialogues
This gallery features Allen Leepa (American, b. 1919 - 2009), an artist, educator, author and philanthropist committed to abstraction and art as spiritual expression - a philosophy that is pivotal to understanding his work. This gallery features work Leepa created in high school, paintings he showed in major exhibitions and large masterworks that explore theories of visual perception. Abraham Rattner was Allen Leepa's step-father.
