ALEX LEVI (1933-1966) Born Aleksandar Levi, on March 14, 1933 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Nicknamed “Bata”, Alex Levi was born into a family of great wealth. His grandfather was the first Balkan to importer of American cars and farm vehicles etc…and his father, Rajko Levi studied art in Paris during the late 1930s. An extremely quiet child, Batas talent/affinity for art was evident at a very early. His talent was encouraged by his entire family and at age 6 he was already using drawings and watercolor paintings as a means of communication. By age 7 he began illustrating everything that was happening around him, often in comic book style strips with captions. In 1941, at the age of 8, the Germans began bombing his hometown of Belgrade undefined
