The painter and graphic artist Louis Lozowick was born in a small village in Ukraine. He studied art in Kiev and then, in 1906, he moved to the United States, where he continued his training. He received a BA from the Ohio State University in 1918 and then spent several years after the war traveling in Europe, where he was exposed to modernist currents in painting. In the 1920s, he contributed a series of articles about Jewish artists working in Europe and America to the Menorah Journal, and in 1947 published the first survey of American Jewish art, 100 Contemporary American Jewish Painters and Sculptors. His hard-edged, linear style exalted the urban landscape, especially skyscrapers and machines.
