I am proud to bring to the public the last of my late uncle's artwork. I decided to frame his remaining and watercolor/mixed medium pieces all the same using a period-appropriate deep solid walnut frame, super clear, non-reflective glass and when possible, the art was surface mounted to show the raw edge of these 60+ year old one-of-a-kind abstracts.

About the Artist
Dr. Harold Lewis was born in New York City in 1918. He studied at the Arts Students League and New York University. He earned his doctorate of Philosophy in the School of Education at New York University. After serving as a welder in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Hal became a weekly lecturer on Abstractionism in Art at the New School for Social Research in New York City. He was then a Professor of Art History at Millersville University in Pennsylvania until his death in August 1971 at the age of 53. A memorial exhibition of his work was held at the Phoenix Gallery in New York the following December. With the passing of Harold’s wife, Marjorie Gulla in 1997, his nephews David Holmes and Jon Gulla decided to bring his art back to public attention.
