Two Figures Seated Before a Window
Monotype, 1904, 228 x 305 mm. A fine impression on thin japan paper in brown ink, ample margins all around. Signed and dated three times in black ink. Walkowitz was among the first Americans of the twentieth century to go to Paris and inhale the new air of modernism. Back in New York, he was consistently in the avant-garde and was perhaps the only one of his time to bring to the medium of monotype ideas of French modernism. Davis Kiehl wrote of him that he "was concerned with the representation of objects and the density of those objects in space."
