About this work

The print shows tall, dark blast furnaces against a night sky, their chimneys rising like giant tubes. Shapes are sharp and angular, with strong black lines and deep shadows. The scene feels quiet but powerful, like a machine breathing in the dark. Lozowick made this during a time when factories and cities were changing how people lived. He liked drawing industrial scenes because they showed human effort and progress. This piece was drawn entirely with crayon on a stone slab, then printed — a method that gives it a clean, precise look. The artist once worked in a steel plant, which may explain his close attention to the shapes of the machinery. To see more works made this way, look up lithography.
