Abraham Walkowitz (1878-1965) was a Russian-Jewish immigrant to New York who joined the avant-garde Modernist Art movement gravitating around photographer Alfred Stieglitz’s 291 Gallery, where the forerunners of modern art in America gathered and where many European artists were first exhibited in the United States. Walkowitz is most well-known for his portraits of dancer Isadora Duncan and for his abstract cityscapes.
