Squash 1930

"Squash" is a lithograph created in 1930 by American artist Louis Lozowick. The artwork features a large, organic shape resembling a squash, rendered in stark black and white with a high level of detail. It is presented against a background of crumpled fabric, suggesting a still-life composition. Lozowick was known for his interest in industrial and urban landscapes, however, "Squash" reveals an appreciation for simple, everyday objects and their visual appeal. The work exemplifies Lozowick's mastery of the lithographic technique, capturing textures and light through the use of dense, layered lines and subtle shading. This drawing, a departure from Lozowick's usual subject matter, highlights his talent for capturing the essence of the commonplace through bold, expressive forms.
