David Levine

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

The NY Review of Books will not be the same without Levine's insightful drawings. I will miss his work!

My heart goes out to the David Levine family, but may you take comfort in the brilliance and exuberance of his talent, and the many lives he touched.

I've admired him as long as I can remember.

I met him once in the early 70s. As a student, I had written him a note asking if there was a way I could show him some of my own political cartoons and get some advice. To my surprise, he invited me to stop by his home in Brooklyn. I'll never forget how kind, cordial and hospitable he was, and how amazing it was to see his work area with a drawing in progress, right on his desk.

Yours were the most trenchant views of the men guiding this country during the Bush administration. Your drawings said it all about Cheney, Kissinger, et al.

Looking at your work at the Forum made me want to laugh and cry and wish I could hug you for the beauty of your line.

A sublime genius

my parent's dear friend, Uncle Si, (Diamond) studied painting with David Levine, and always spoke of him in glowing terms. I now own many paintings and drawings by Si Diamond
and they definitely are heavily influenced by Mr. Levine. I love them all. I never met Mr. Levine, but I can't help but think I knew him, just alittle.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

WE ARE SENDING OUR LOVE,PRAYERS,&CODOLENCES TO MR. LEVINE'S FAMILY,FIRENDS,&ALL WHO WORKED WITH MR.LEVINE.

I was away when Dave died and devastated to hear of his passing. He was such a warm and humorous manwhose paintings were wonderfully loose and expressive. I feel lucky to have known him. My sympathies to his wife Cathy.

A massive talent with s great eye. Rest in peace.

May it comfort you to know that David is resting peacefully, no longer in pain. We may again enjoy his presence and art in the future. Job 14:14,15

His illustrations inspired me. Fondest memories to his family. Griff

America's Daumier. Thank you. This level of genius is out there still, I am certain. May s/he be found soon, that the genre not erode.

My deepest sympathies are for the Levine family and friends at this sad time. "God comforts us in all tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in any sort of tribulation through the comfort with we ourself are being comforted by God."

We lost a genius. RIP, David Levine.

Dear Levine family: Please accept our warmest sympathies and be comforted knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34: 18). He can give us ‘power beyond what is normal’ to go on from one day to the next. (2 Corinthians 4: 7).

Amazing talent, appreciated by millions! A loss that will be felt around the USA.

I have always admired the work of David levine. How he managed to draw a cartoon version of a famous person and still make the drawing recognizable! being an untrained artist myself my entire life,I can only idolize an artis such as him. REST IN PEACE.

My deepest condolences are with you at this time of need. Know that god
feels your pain as well. Go to him in prayer and he will comfort you very
much.

May the God of love comfort your family.

David Levine is the greatest caricaturist of the last century and one of my favorites artists.I like to extend my deepest sympathy and my heartfelt condolences to the Levine Family. W. Solo, caricaturista de Costa Rica.

Our thoughts are with your family. May the words of Isaiah 41:10,13 bout how God is willing to take you by the hand during trying circumstances will be of comfort to you.

We would like to extend our deepest sympathy and our heartfelt condolences to the Levine Family. May God heal your broken hearts and bind up your painful spots during this difficult time. (Ps 147:3)

Our deepest sympathies to the Levine family. May your precious memories and "the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort," ease the pain of your grief.

My Grandfather (David Kagan) was like family with the Levines, particularly David's parents (Harry & Lena) and my mother (Renee Brickman) was David's contemporary. So when I read in today's Newsday that David had passed away it resonated as if we had lost another member of our extended family. David will be missed but his work will live on. I consider myself fortunate to have met him, and more fortunate that I have some of David's artwork, both signed and unsigned, to help keep his legacy alive.

I am sorry for your loss may the God of all comfort and tender mercies be with you in your time of grief.
2Corinthians 1:3,4

To the the family of David Levine - May God give you peace and comfort through his word and the Lord Jesus Christ during this time of sorrow,I know that David will be missed by many.

Both David Levine and Aaron Shikler were great creative inspirations to both my late sister Anna Marlin and myself.

Until we all meet again.

May Jehovah's love blanket you at this time when life seems hard to bare.He did not create us to suffer the loss of loved ones in death but He promises a ressurection.(John5:28,29).

I have always loved David Levine's artwork. I discovered his work as an art student at Syracuse University's School of Visual and Performing Arts in the 70's. I continued to follow his career and am now saddened by his death. I am heartened to see that illustrators (and I am one) are still appreciated. Most heartfelt sympathies to those he left behind.

Our deep condolences to the Levine family and to their friends. May you draw comfort in knowing God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. Please accept our sincere condolences.

One of a kind artist, and from my brief acquaintance, one of a kind person. Such talent and humility I have rarely seen.

Thank you for years of entertainment and joy. RIP dear man.

He was a man that had a different view of people's outlook on life. Could in only just a picture sum it RIGHT up!
