Edmund Lewandowski

Edmund Lewandowski (1914–1998)[1] was an American Precisionist artist who was often exhibited in the Downtown Gallery alongside other artists such as Charles Sheeler, Charles Demuth, Georgia O'Keeffe, Ralston Crawford, George Ault, and Niles Spencer.

He assumed a public school teaching position to make a living while he pursued painting on his own and sought commissions in advertising and magazine illustration.

In 1936, he was invited by prominent modern art dealer Edith Halpert to join her Downtown Gallery.

His final position was as Professor and Chairman of the Art Department at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where he served from 1973 until 1984.
