Baltimore's 'Grandma Moses'
David Herz Special to the Jewish Times
JULY 09, 2004
After retiring from the travel business 19 years ago, Sylvia Levin was looking for something to occupy her time. She began painting and found that she received "great pleasure from it." She often gave her finished pieces to friends and family members who told her how much they enjoyed her work, but she thought "they were just being polite."
"People would tell me that my paintings were good, but I didn't believe them," says Mrs. Levin, 90. "Painting was a hobby. I never thought I would sell them. It gave me a lot of time doing something I enjoyed, and I could see results."
Then, a friend suggested that she have a showing. At first, Mrs. Levin says she didn't give it much thought, but then she decided to take a chance. Her sons invited about 30 people over to her Park Heights apartment in June 2003, and Mrs. Levin sold eight paintings, earning more than $1,000.
"I couldn't believe it," she says. "I was very pleasantly surprised at how many paintings were sold at that showing."
Mrs. Levin planned to have a second show earlier this year, but it was canceled due to her health troubles. But even without another show, Mrs. Levin has continued to sell paintings from her home/art studio, earning somewhat of a reputation as a local "Grandma Moses."
One look at Mrs. Levin's apartment indicates that she is no ordinary senior citizen. Its vibrant colors — a lime green border adorning the entrance walls, and the living room painted a deep orange — match the colorful personality of this great-grandmother. Artifacts collected from her many trips all over the world are also displayed throughout her home.
Mrs. Levin says her painting style is highly influenced by the late 19th-century Impressionist movement. She says her first works were oils, but she now paints with acrylics, mostly for practical purposes.
"Acrylics are better for painting in an apartment," she says. "They dry quicker and are easier to clean and they don't smell."
Most of the paintings currently displayed in her apartment are of women or of nature scenes. Mrs. Levin uses a contrast of colors, often employing dark colors around a painting's subject. She says that she often paints something that she notices in a photograph, and then adds her own creative interpretation.
Mrs. Levin's life experiences from her years leading travel groups around the world are evident in her paintings as well. Many have Far East influences, one of the areas that she says she enjoyed visiting the most.
She says she had painted only once in her life before her retirement. In 1967, when her mother was dying, Mrs. Levin suddenly painted a portrait of her soon- to-be daughter in-law, marrying her son, Dr. Michael Levin, from the couple's engagement announcement photo.
"I decided it would be something good for me to do," says Mrs. Levin, a Har Sinai congregant. "I used it as therapy for myself."
A mother of three, Mrs. Levin, who also has nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, was born and raised in Baltimore. She has always been interested in the arts. As a child, she hoped to be a ballet dancer and took classes. But Mrs. Levin says she was forced to give up ballet at the age of 12 when rheumatic fever confined her to bed for a year.
Mrs. Levin never really had any formal training in painting. She took two classes at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore, and another class recently in Florida. Her late husband, Harold, was also an accomplished painter. She says her son, Stanley, believes there must a hidden talent within the family and has recently started to paint. He and his daughter are now taking lessons from Mrs. Levin.
Edith Green, a nurse who cares for Mrs. Levin, has purchased two of her paintings. One was a nature scene that Mrs. Green says reminded her of her home in Virginia. While she was shocked that Mrs. Levin had very little training in art, Mrs. Green says she wasn't surprised by Mrs. Levin's talent.
"It's amazing the things she does," Mrs. Green says. "I tell her all the time that she is just a big gift."
Mrs. Levin, former president of the Jewish women's group Miriam Lodge KSB, says she has never done any Jewish-themed work. "I saw so much in Israel that it would be too difficult to show what I saw," she says. "It just doesn't seem that I could do it, that I could depict it the way it should be."
Mrs. Levin says she harbors no regrets about beginning her craft so late in life. "I did other things," she says. "I had years of dancing, which I loved, and the time that I spent working with philanthropic groups took a lot of work. I wouldn't have had time to do anything else. Each thing had its own time."
And like many artists, Mrs. Levin is her own toughest critic. "I finish a canvas, I let it stand," she says. "I think it's done when I walk away, but it isn't done. Maybe 10 minutes or 10 days later, I see errors, so they will stand there for a while before I finish them and sign them."
Mrs. Levin says she hopes to continue painting for many more years.
"You get better as you get older, if you enjoy what you do," she says. "I will paint as long as I physically can." | Livingston, Sylvia (I30)

Beachwood-- Adrian B. Fink Jr. represented many defendants in death-penalty cases
and saved all their lives. He was also a state representative, Common Pleas judge, federal prosecutor and lawyer to celebrities.
Fink died Friday, June 29, at home in Beachwood. He was 89.
"Adrian was an extraordinarily bright jurist and lawyer," said long-time partner Lewis Zipkin. "He had little tolerance for ignorance. He didn't tolerate shenanigans. Underneath, he was a warm, loving guy."
Judge Sara J. Harper, retired from the Ohio Court of Appeals, knew Fink from Republican circles. "He was handsome," she said. "He had a definite flair about him. He loved being of service."
In Columbus, according to an autobiographical statement, Fink sponsored the removal of a last racially discriminatory word from the Ohio Constitution. In Washington, D.C., he won the first case under the Communist Front Provisions.
He later spent seven years at the Cuyahoga Court of Common Pleas and many years as a private lawyer, partly handling tax issues and contracts for stars like Sammy Davis Jr. and Kaye Stevens.
His daughter, Ellen Bell, said an IRS auditor once doubted that Fink's many trips to Hollywood were really for business. Then he went to Fink's office and found him watching Stevens tell an interviewer on TV, "I have the best lawyer! He's Adrian Fink of Cleveland."
Fink was born in Cleveland and raised in Atlanta and in Richmond, Va. He became an Eagle Scout and graduated from the University of Virginia at age 19.
He served as a Naval battalion commander at Harvard and earned two battle stars in the Pacific. He was discharged in 1946 as a lieutenant commander and spent many years in the Naval Reserves.
He graduated from Western Reserve University Law School in 1948, married Ruth Wasserman and practiced downtown with her father, Daniel, later a judge of Common Pleas and Ohio Appeals. In his first case, he won a sentence of life instead of the chair for a court-appointed client who'd killed a policeman. Soon he won a place on Ohio's ballot for the Progressive Party, though he opposed
its politics.
In 1950, living near Shaker Square, Fink won an Ohio House seat as a Republican. His Fink Trucking Act required mud guards, raised taxes and boosted penalties for violations such as excess weight. He sponsored an amendment removing race from a provision that had required white men to enroll in the militia. He led passage of a long-stalled proposal for vocational rehabilitation.
In 1952, Fink broadcast the noon news daily for WDOK. In 1953, he left the House for the U.S. Justice Department's criminal division in Washington, D.C. There he proved that a school in New York City was a Communist front.
In 1955, Fink returned to private practice in downtown Cleveland. According to the autobiographical statement, he won 14 straight acquittals in murder cases. He also won a state precedent that a defendant arrested in the middle of a crime could not be charged for his accomplices' later misdeeds.
In 1969, he won a life sentence for Lathan Donald, accused of killing three policemen and a civilian during the Glenville riot. During the seven-week trial, the dapper, red-haired lawyer impressed the jury by wearing a different suit every day.
Fink lost bids for county prosecutor, county commissioner and the U.S. House. In 1970, Gov. James Rhodes put him on the Common Pleas bench. He won elections for the court, resigned in 1975, and lost a bid to return in 1986.
He won many awards from legal groups, including six from the Ohio Supreme Court. He wrote and lectured widely.
He lived at times in University Heights, Cleveland Heights, Gates Mills and Boca Raton, Fla. He golfed at Pine Ridge. He spent many years on the county Republican executive committee.
Fink often quoted the Book of Micah: "What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
Adrian Bernstein Fink Jr.1922-2012
Survivors:
Wife, the former Ruth Wasserman; daughter, Ellen Bell of Cleveland Heights; two grand sons and two great-grandchil dren.
Funeral:
1:30 p.m. Thursday, Berkowitz-Kumin-Bookatz, 1985 S. Taylor Rd., Cleveland Heights. | Fink, Judge Adrian Bernstein Jr. (I4597)
