Points de vue, 1967
A magnificent diptych 'Points de vue' from 1967, exhibited at Galerie Desbriere in Paris in 1968. The work illustrates a unique variety of figurative painting combining elements of abstraction close to surrealism. Using a rich language of forms and colors, Lebenstein expresses a deep meditation on human suffering, loneliness, and downfall. His painting is a precise record of human emotions set against archaic cultural symbols.
