Breakfast 1929

"Breakfast" is a 1929 lithograph by Louis Lozowick, a prominent American artist known for his precisionist style. This artwork depicts a simple breakfast scene, yet Lozowick's treatment elevates it to a more complex and abstract level. The geometric arrangement of objects and the bold, graphic lines are characteristic of Precisionism, a movement that sought to portray modern life with clarity and order. The inclusion of a patterned tablecloth, a stylized salt shaker, and the hint of a car in the background add further layers of meaning and texture to this visually engaging composition. This work showcases Lozowick's mastery of graphic design and his ability to capture the essence of modern American life through an unconventional, visually arresting still life.
