Angry Skies (Andante Cantabile)
1935

This is a black and white lithograph titled "Angry Skies" by Louis Lozowick from 1935. The image depicts a dramatic scene with a dark, swirling cloud formation in the sky above an urban landscape. The clouds have a menacing appearance, with lighter areas that almost resemble facial expressions. Below, there are stylized representations of buildings, including a prominent art deco skyscraper, and a bridge with an arch over a body of water. In the foreground, there are trees and a small structure, possibly a house. The composition conveys a sense of tension between the natural and the man-made environment. Handwritten text at the bottom left corner reads "Idea realized - work to print -" and at the bottom right corner, the artist's name and the year are inscribed.
