The final pocket-size facsimile edition of Lozano's journals, replete with drawings, diagrams and gutsy aphorismsLee Lozano (1930–99) worked primarily in painting, often integrating textual elements and roving restlessly across modes that could be categorized as Surrealism, Pop, Post-Minimalism, Conceptualism and abstraction, all the while shirking any easy definitions. Last added to on January 27, 1972, this is the final volume in a set of 11 facsimile editions of Lozano's journals. Her brief entries, punctuated by drawings and diagrams, are knife-sharp with a poetic cadence. In one from September 24, 1970, she addresses the Whitney Museum of American Art: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ON THE RECEIVING END OF DISRESPECT (ARTIST ? MUSEUM). Another asks: IS THIS TOO STRONG FOR LOVE? These pocket-size notebooks, which contain musings on topics spanning her own work to her scheduled rendezvous to her dreams, provide a portrait of one of the most enigmatic, mercurial figures in the history of art.
