Catalogue Note

In his Modern Romance series, Levinthal evokes both the sensual and hyper-stylized scenarios of old Hollywood Film Noir narratives and the loneliness of Edward Hopper paintings.  The tiny figures pictured in seedy hotel rooms, all-night diners, and dimly lit alleyways are often grainy and composed of closeups, suggesting scenes from the silver screen put on pause and brought into the miniature format of Polaroid SX-70 prints.
