" The watercolors and paintings of Alexander Klevan are executed with the draftsmanship that is superlative in its security and nuance, capturing the dramatic spirit unerringly in each case. The sun as a platonic symbol of truth and beauty, can be applied to the world of Klevan as well. And not merely as an abstract value. For the sun occupies a central position as an essential, aesthetic element in his painting. He paints his people out in the sun - they atr all set in an area open to the terrific sun. This is what makes for the typical drama of light and shadow in his drawings
His vision is penetrating, and he is able to reflect in every theme his feelings of brotherhood and his genuine, human warmth and sincerity. He is able to express himself forcefully and fluently in his art. He is brilliant and sensitive draftsman. His characters pulsate with life.
This artist whose talent is so great shows use once more that true art has no boundaries, and therefore can delve deep into the essence of life and show use Scenes of Israel so complete in their verity . This is not the expressionism of Kokoshka or Soutine. This is a sterling attempt to express what goes on within a man s soul as it is seen, be one who is capable of discerning it, in his external appearance".
