Lev Meshberg information

Lev Meshberg (August 24, 1933, Odessa – July 17, 2007, Carrara) was a Soviet and American painter. Meshberg's paintings are autobiographical, filled with symbols and enigmas relating to his own existence.^{[citation needed]}  A figurative painter and colorist, his paintings are a combination of readily discernible objects and almost ethereal renderings of other objects with dream-like light and color.  He worked still another dimension into his art, depth - a physical depth - achieved by build-up of pigments and other materials to add a sculptural dimension to his paintings. The subtlety of color and true originality of composition and uniqueness of his three-dimensional method of painting brought Meshberg world-wide attention. His works were widely exhibited and purchased by numerous museums and private collectors all over the world.^[1]
