- In 1906 fourteen-year-old Louis Lozowick immigrated to the United States from the Ukraine and claimed a front-row seat to New York City's race for the skies. With the Singer Building and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower under construction, Manhattan and its tall buildings formed a vision of progress and possibilities. In the following decades New York would overtake London as Earth's most populous city and challenge Paris as the art capital of the world. Through the boom years of the 1920s and the Great Depression of the 1930s, the metropolis grew in scale and in creative energy, attracting and nurturing artists like Lozowick from around the globe.
