Matvei Levenzon

Matvei Avramovich Levenzon, also printed Levinson, was born on May 31, 1946, in Ungheni (Ungeny) and died on August 8, 2020, in Frankfurt am Main. He graduated from the Repin art school in Chișinău (Kishinev) in 1971 and joined the Union of Artists of the USSR in 1983. He was also a circus performer and film actor.

Strelka's guide credits him with the group of two clown acrobats installed above the main entrance of the Chișinău circus in 1988. The national catalog of public monuments credits the composition to Valeriu Rotari and dates it 1979, and Visit Chișinău says Rotari died before it was finished. No source explains how the two credits relate. Locals.md also lists a bronze bas-relief of Sergei Lunkevich among his works.
