Label TextLocated at the juncture of Water Street and Fulton Street along the East River, New York City's Fulton Fish Market, established in 1835, is the nation’s oldest and largest wholesale fish market.
Louis Lozowick was born in the village of Ludvinovka near Kiev in the Ukraine, and immigrated to the United States in 1906. The abrupt entrance to urban America from village life forever and profoundly affected his aesthetic interpretation of modern life. Although academically trained in the graphic arts, he was self-taught in lithography, a medium that he truly made his own. Characterized by creative vitality and superb technical mastery, Lozowick's lithographs are among the finest created in twentieth-century America. Lozowick is particularly noted for his lithographic prints that portray the industrial city environment and architectural form.
