A very good impression.
Also known as Louis Breslow (he changed his name in 1951), Barlow was born in New York City and studied at the National Academy of Design in 1930. During the 1930s, he worked for the Public Works of Art Project and the Federal Art Project, spending time as a wood engraver in the Graphic Arts Division. The majority of his career was spent as a medical illustrator and designor of prosthetics (he also worked as a medical illustrator for the United States Army during World War II).
