Untitled 

Curator: Ah, let’s turn our attention to this intriguing piece. It's an untitled drawing by Louis Lozowick. It looks like he worked in pencil and possibly etching, with a strong emphasis on geometric forms and lines. Editor: Immediately, I'm struck by its ephemeral quality. It feels almost like a ghost image, barely there, but hinting at something solid and architectural. It makes me wonder what the artist meant to imply through its abstraction. Curator: That's insightful. Lozowick was fascinated by the energy of burgeoning urban centers, and you see that tension here. The geometry imposes order onto chaos and reveals structure—though, admittedly, its provisional character adds to the piece's poignancy. I think we're witnessing Lozowick processing all of it, one line at a time. Editor: You can see the city being born! Yes, each line seems deliberate, yet there is an undone air as well. There is so much space and so little rendered, creating visual push and pull. If the subject is, as we assume, an emerging city, what aspects of it draw him in? Curator: Perhaps it's the scaffolding, the promise of monumental structures just beginning to rise, casting oblique shadows. The geometric forms might reflect his Futurist influences, finding dynamism in what some might see as stark or severe. There's a real beauty, or maybe sublime, to be found in such an approach, right? Editor: Agreed! You nailed the sentiment! It is almost like catching an engineer sketching the vision of what could come to life at any minute! As the poet, I can envision the words building around it… almost… But I suspect there will always be some form of undoing present within this artwork’s overall tone. Curator: The “almost” is where all the tension resides, where the magic lingers. Well, this glimpse into Lozowick's process makes it a powerful drawing. It hints at all the energy that's possible when old and new forms begin coalescing. Editor: Exactly! And isn’t that what makes any of our potential projects worthwhile and something we ought to focus on every single day?
