IRVING LEHMAN
Published: September 24, 1983
Irving Lehman, a painter and sculptor whose abstract expressionist works have been shown in galleries throughout the United States and abroad, died Sunday at a nursing home in Great Barrington, Mass. He was 83 years old and lived in East Chatham, N.Y., and Manhattan.
Mr. Lehman, who was born in Russia, studied at Cooper Union and the National Academy of Art. He worked in oil and watercolor as a painter and in metal and steel as a sculptor and often went to the familiar scenes of New York City for his inspiration.
A New York Times review of an exhibition of his paintings - titled ''Variations on New York'' - at the Salpeter Gallery in Manhattan in 1955, said: ''Lehman admirably succeeds in catching the clamorous confusion of Manhattan; his pictures are suitably restless in design.''
Abroad, his works were shown in galleries in Great Britain, France, Italy, Israel and Japan, and in 1951, they were included in a United States international traveling exhibition in Europe.
Mr. Lehman is survived by his wife, Martha, and two sisters, Pauline Shalat of Brooklyn and Esther Golub of Albany.
