LOUIS LOZOWICK (1892-1973)

Between 1922 and 1927, Louis Lozowick created a group of paintings, drawings, and prints known as the Cities Series. Inspired by a trip across the United States in 1919, the works depicted urban scenes he encountered in such cities as New York, Cleveland, Chicago, and Seattle. This 1925 lithograph, one of the artist's earliest known prints, shows an abstracted view of Minneapolis, with a riverfront dominated by railroads, factories, and grain silos.
