Stanley Lewis

Stanley Lewis was born in Montreal on the 28th of March 1930, and died in Montréal on the 14th of August 2006. He lived in Montreal always close to Mount Royal and the last years of his life he spent on the Main. He studied under Dr. Arthur Lismer in Montréal. He went on to study at the Instituto Allende in Mexico, and then in Florence under Vittorio Gambacciani. He rounded off his apprenticeship with the Inuit in Northern Canada, which permitted him to develop a particular technique of engraving on stone. He also travelled to China to learn about its culture.

 The 56 years of Mr Lewis’ career left us with a rich legacy of sculptures and engravings. Amongst the sculptures that were dearest to him we find the two Pink Ladies, one sculpted when he was young while the other at a mature age. His prolific production of engravings is first noticed with the Ten Commandments he created in Israel in 1965. He participated in exhibitions both on the international level and the national level - in Paris, Florence, Israel, New York, and Mexico; the National Gallery of Canada, at the Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal.

 He was constantly haunted by mortality and often quoted the verse from the scriptures: “from dust to dust.” But then he would add a dash of hope: “Man is mortal, but art is eternal”.
