I couldn’t find much autobiographical information on the artist Saul Levine.  He was born in New York in the 1915 and he studied at the Corcoran School of Art and Design and graduated from Yale’s School of Fine Arts.  It appears that he began his career in the late 30s, doing paintings of everyday life during the Great Depression.  He painted murals for two post offices in Massachusetts and his paintings were exhibited in the Whitney, the Carnegie, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts.  In the 1950s, he painted a handful of paperback covers.  Searching the web, I found a death notice for a Saul Levine who was born in 1915 and died in 2010.  However, I don’t know if that notice was for the same Saul Levine.

Below are a few of his paperback covers, followed by some of his paintings:
