Still Life # 1 (Still Life with Guitar) 1929

"Still Life # 1 (Still Life with Guitar)" (1929) by Louis Lozowick is a striking black and white lithograph. The composition features a guitar lying on a table, with the artist's use of strong light and shadow creating a sense of depth and volume. Lozowick was a prominent American artist of the early 20th century, known for his precisionist style, which incorporated geometric shapes and sharp outlines, as seen in this print. His works often explored the themes of industrialization and urban life. This particular still life, however, focuses on a more intimate object, suggesting a quiet moment of reflection. The artwork's stark contrast and dramatic lighting create a sense of mystery and intrigue.
