David Leffel [1]

"David A. Leffel is internationally recognized as a "20th Century Old Master" an honor that very few living American artist achieve. If we travel back to the 17th century Dutch Masters; most notably Rembrandt who casts a powerful shadow on Leffel's work, not only the shades of history but the artist's immediacy that awakens us to his brilliance. Leffel is said to be a true master of chiaroscuro, not only with his shadow and light but with brilliant visual concepts. David Leffel is highly sought after not only as an artist but highly respected as an "Artist who Teaches." Lyme Art Association is proud to welcome Mr. Leffel." [2]
