Lee Lozano (1930?1999) brought a potent voice to the 1960s New York art scene. Equipped with an extraordinary intellectual reach and demonstrating an unusually expressive and mature sexuality, Lozano's art—which includes paintings, drawings, and conceptual works—is as fresh today as it was more than 40 years ago.
This handsome book presents selections of the artist's early narrative and figurative drawings dating from 1960 to '64. It is the first publication focusing on Lozano's drawings, and all of the featured works are previously unpublished. Her drawings can be exacting, demanding, and formally refined, such as her sexually charged depictions of tools, or freer gestural drawings using graphite with splashes of crayon color. Lozano also created text pieces that are part diary and part social chronicle. Conceived as a sort of artist's sketchbook, the publication is completed by selections from the artist's own diaries, which reveal her incredible wit, anger, intelligence, and struggles.
Lee Lozano: Drawings leaves no doubt of how prescient her work has proven to be and why she is an artist who is attracting a great deal of attention today.

Lee Lozano: Drawings
Define a highbrow : A person who sees a sausage, we're
told in jest, and instantly thinks of Picasso. Pub c 1950,
this consideration of American taste is a dinosaur today;
out-of-date. Its value is historic. The chapter on the 1913
Armory Show is a ripping report. The photos throughout are
revealing. Best chapter, as GR says, is "Highbrow, Lowbrow,
Middlebrow" -- perhaps, cos the author is so middlebrow
himself. He describes movie producers and art dealers as
upper middlebrows. Huhhh? Whoooo? - I assume he's being
ironic when he bows to the pretentious wind chimes of art critic
Clement Greenberg. Author is correct when he observes that
a highbrow is devoid of humor : "He will not tolerate frivolity
where the arts are concerned." Which is why the Greenbergians
fainted when Pop Art exploded in the 60s.
Author neglects movies-tv as shapers of not only American, but
also international taste. Maybe that's another book. The good
stuff here is pre-1920s. He reminds us that Thomas Love
Peacock wrote (1817) : "No gentleman would be so rash as to
have a taste of his own."
