Above: "Beginning of the Day," a drypoint on paper by Louis Lozowick (1892-1973), created while he was in the WPA's art program, 1940. After his death, Lozowick's wife said, "He always did what he wanted to do. He didn't care about prevalent styles, nor about the market. He was doing abstractions when others were doing realist work, and when others were doing abstract things, he was doing realist pieces" ("The Urban Legacy of Louis Lozowick," New York Times, November 15, 1981).
