About this work
Louis Lozowick was born in Kiev in 1892 and migrated to the United States in 1906. Although Lozowick studied at American institutions, his work developed in direct contact with the international avant-garde. He lived in Berlin, Moscow and Paris from 1919 to 1924, where he was influenced by the French artist Fernand Léger, as well as Cubism and Russian Constructivism. The geometric order and machine-age optimism of these styles inspired Lozowick, who, like other American artists of the 1920s, took the industrial landscape as a major subject. On his return to the United States he concentrated on lithography, holding his first solo show in New York in 1929.
