Note: Bernard Lewin was a pioneer in exhibiting Mexican Modern Art and introduced many of the important artists of the era to the wider art world.Lewin was a personal friend of Federico Cantu, Rufino Tamayo and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
As a dealer, I was able to work with him in the late seventies and early eighties when he released many of the most important of Tamayo's graphics.
