Set Almost Wholly In Russia And. Western Europe, Lozowick's Memoirs, Published Here For The First Time, Present Not Only A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man But Also A Vibrant Record Of Jewish Life In The Waning Days Of The Russian Empire.

In His Visits. To Europe In The 1920s, Lozowick Acquainted Himself With The Experiments And Aims Of Other Emerging Cultural Movements.
