“Not that Lewis is melodramatic, rather does he dare grasp the nettle truth beneath the simulacrum of reality. His consuming interest in people impels him to probe not only their lives but their background…” – Albert Reese (Albert Reese, American Prize Prints of the 20th Century, New York: American Artists Group, 1949, p. 124)
