Foss, Lukas. (1922–2009). Signed photograph. Color portrait of the German-born American composer, conductor and pianist seated in an armchair, dated 2001 to verso. Inscribed in red ink, " for Steven / Juscik / All best / Lukas Foss / 2.1.2003." 6 x 4 inches (15.1 x 10.1 cm. In fine condition.
"In the U.S., Foss gained more popularity as a conductor than as a composer. His "Marathon Concerts" at the Hollywood Bown with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which lasted about six hours, acquainted the audience with new sounds. He performed both his own works and works by others, such as John Cage's Concerto for Prepared Piano. In addition, Foss wrote articles in musical magazines." Michael Saffle in MGG2
