For him the 'El' is the gateway to the Jewish cemetery. He juxtaposes two radically different landscapes, contrasting the modernized, technological New York, represented by the 'El' and the old world, living and dead, shown by laundry and small-scale residential architecture as well as the tombs. Hopper represents the city through the 'El' window separating the viewer from the actual landscape but connecting then through this symbol of New York. All three artists portray the anonymity of public transportation as well as the city by including faceless people in their prints. Lozowick hides a faceless man in the shadows of the 'El', Gaylor does not etch the features of the women with children standing close to the support of the 'El', and Hopper chooses to turn the woman away from the audience to be, herself, an observer of the view of New York.
Doors open one-half hour before concert begins.

The event will be held in conjunction with Rome and New York and World AIDS Day, and will include on-site AIDS testing and counseling of patients from the Zinberg Clinic, the AIDS service at Cambridge Hospital. The activity at the Fogg will be the transfer of the usual consultations at the Zinberg Clinic to the Straus Gallery at the Fogg. Zinberg patients will see their medical doctor, psychiatrist, nurse practitioner, nutritionist, social worker, and even perhaps an acupuncturist. The activity in the Straus Gallery will take place in a 8' x 12' room designed by Dr. Avery which is open to the front and back and with an open gabled roof formed by trusses in the standard form of joists and rafters, which will be built on a low platform.
