This image complements the Museum's strong holding of modernist drawings executed in America between 1910 and 1940, a period of originality that was influenced by technological, political, and social change. Lozowick first came to the U.S. in 1906, returned to Europe in 1920, and was back in New York in 1924. While in Europe, he joined the German Novembergruppe, which included El Lissitsky and Kasimir Malevich, and began to exhibit in 1921. This drawing depicts Coney Island, which was built in 1920 as an amusement park for New Yorkers. Lozowick executed a number of images that portray people engaged in a variety of urban activities.
