Louis Lozowick (1892–1973) was a Ukrainian-born American painter and printmaker, celebrated for his contributions to the Art Deco and Precisionism movements. Known for his streamlined, monochromatic lithographs, Lozowick captured the industrial beauty of urban America, focusing on its skyscrapers, smokestacks, and bridges with geometric precision. His fifty-year career highlighted his dual talents as an artist and a critic, bringing a new aesthetic dimension to the portrayal of architectural forms. Janet Flint, former Curator at the National Museum of American Art, recognized him as a pioneering figure whose work offers a rich exploration of the American urban landscape. Lozowick's legacy continues to influence the appreciation of cityscapes in modern art.
