Laguna Woods art aficionados can easily jump on a freeway and head out to a number of fine arts museums in the Southern California area.

But for a quicker dip into culture, they can walk, pedal or motor to the overflow RV lot near Clubhouse One. That’s where resident Bob Levy parks his 38-foot Monaco Diplomat — a rolling gallery on wheels, its exterior plastered with fine art replicas that, he believes, rival any art gallery in the world.

“Most of the time you can’t see this variety of art in one location,” Levy, 77, said about his collection, which has grown to 32 pieces.

The larger-than-life, peel-off images include portraits, still-lifes and landscapes from such masters as Degas, Vermeer, Rivera, Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and photographers Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange.

Levy, a Laguna Woods Realtor, said his gallery started “as a fluke and mushroomed from there.”

It began after he purchased the 20-year-old diesel pusher and, rather than spend $5,000 to repaint a faded design on the vehicle’s exterior, he bought a 15 square foot replica of a photograph of Charles Lindbergh to cover the area.

“I thought before I spend $5,000, I’ll create my own art,” Levy recounted.

Next came a photograph of the Brooklyn Bridge, followed by an artsy poster of a Volkswagen parked near the Golden Gate Bridge.

Now, a year later, both sides of his RV are neatly freckled with fine art prints from around the world. Among his favorites, his said, are “Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer and a Depression-era photograph of a mother and her children by American photographer Dorothea Lange.

Levy’s collection leans toward Americana and includes a portrait of Abraham Lincoln and two of George Washington. Levy’s admiration of the latter is evident.

“If it wasn’t for him, this would still be England,” he tells a visitor, matter-of-factly.

Many of the works chronicle his personal journey; Levy was a private pilot and has long admired Lindbergh; the Brooklyn Bridge is a nod to his New York roots and a painting of Monterey reminds him of his first home in the Golden State.

Though his collection began for personal enjoyment, he gets satisfaction sharing it with others, especially kids, he said. He compiled a pictorial guide with information on each work that he keeps in a holder outside the motorhome, for those too timid to knock.

Weekends, Levy heads to Doheny or Crystal Cove, where his mobile museum attracts interest among beachgoers.

“I get so much response. They can’t believe it. They bring their kids. And I enjoy that I can share all this wonderful art.”

Next month he will take his show on the road, with trips to Big Sur and the Oregon Coast. By then, his collection will include two additional pieces — Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” and a painting by George Catlin, who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West.

After that, lack of available real estate on his motorhome may render his collection complete.

“Had I known I was going to add more,” Levy mused, “I wouldn’t have made Lindbergh and the Brooklyn Bridge so big.”
