Subway Construction 1931

"Subway Construction," a 1931 lithograph by Louis Lozowick, captures the dynamism of urban development in New York City. The artist's precise lines and chiaroscuro techniques, characteristic of the Precisionist movement, emphasize the stark geometry of the construction site and the intersecting lines of the elevated train tracks. Lozowick's keen eye for detail highlights the interplay between the organic forms of the city's architecture and the rigid structures of industry. The piece offers a glimpse into the city's evolving infrastructure, celebrating both its progress and its challenges.
