AMERICAN GALLERY - 20th Century 
With just a couple of exceptions, the same downcast look in every pair of eyes. Gazing slightly to one side, slightly downward.

Levier painted a common theme…French “women of the evening” or prostitutes. In them, he saw sadness, tragedy, and dignity all at the same time. The women are often standing on street corners, usually well-adorned with hats, and frequently with a bouquet in hand. The downcast look that you’re referring to is thought by some to be coquettish; others interpret it as representative of a person who feels empty toiling in a ‘profession’ that is impersonal. Still others see the look as an admission of worthlessness, apathy or shame. With that said, I do not believe that Levier would portray his subjects as shameful. Many of his subjects were friends and as such, he was sympathetic toward their plight…and he painted them with an eye toward beauty and grace.
