Visual arts of Chicago
Visual arts of Chicago refers to paintings, prints, illustrations, textile art, sculpture, ceramics and other visual artworks produced in Chicago or by people with a connection to Chicago. Since World War II, Chicago visual art has had a strong individualistic streak, little influenced by outside fashions. "One of the unique characteristics of Chicago," said Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts curator Bob Cozzolino, "is there's always been a very pronounced effort to not be derivative, to not follow the status quo."〔Joann Loviglio, "Chicago Art Stars in Philly Exhibition", Chicago Sun-Times, Wednesday, February 22, 2006, p. 49〕 The Chicago art world has been described as having "a stubborn sense ... of tolerant pluralism."〔Diane Thodos, "Self-Portraits 2000", ''New Art Examiner'', May–June 2001, Vol. 28, no. 8-9, p. 92〕 However, Chicago's art scene is "critically neglected."〔Richard Vine, "(Where the Wild Things Were )", ''Art in America'', May 1997, pp. 98-111 〕 Critic Andrew Patner has said, "Chicago's commitment to figurative painting, dating back to the post-War period, has often put it at odds with New York critics and dealers."〔Andrew Patner, "Chicago: Special Report: Contemporary Art", ''Art and Antiques Magazine'', Summer 1996, p. 53-55〕 It is argued that Chicago art is rarely found in Chicago museums; some of the most remarkable Chicago artworks are found in other cities (such as the brilliantly warped epic drawings of Henry Darger at the American Folk Art Museum in New York, or Carlos Cortez' collection of early twentieth-century Chicago "Wobbly" (Industrial Workers of the World) woodcut prints, now in the (Walter P. Reuther Library ) at Wayne State University in Detroit.〔Maureen P. Sherlock, "Missing/Inaction: 'Art in Chicago, 1945-95'", ''New Art Examiner'', February 1997, Volume 24, no. 5, pp. 23-27〕
==Early days: before the War==
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago was founded in 1879, from the remains of an earlier school founded in 1866 (thus the school predates the museum of the same name).〔Peter C. Marzio, "A Museum and a School: An Uneasy But Creative Union", ''Chicago History: The Magazine of the Chicago Historical Society'', Spring 1979, Vol. VIII, number 1, pp. 20-23; 44-52〕 Early students and faculty were conservative and derivative in their tastes, imitating popular European models. Arthur B. Davies, a former SAIC student and one of "the Eight" was considered a disappointment for being a member of a radical group of urban modernists. In 1913, SAIC students held a protest with costumes and bonfires against the Chicago showing of the Armory Show, a collection of the best new modern art; the newspapers described the students' activity as a riot.〔Andrew Martinez, "A Mixed Reception for Modernism: The 1913 Armory Show at the Art Institute of Chicago", The Art Institute of Chicago Museum Studies, Vol. 19, no. 1, 1993, p. 31〕
Only a year later the African-American realist Archibald J. Motley, graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; he kept his modern, jazz-influenced paintings secret for some years after.〔Elaine D. Woodall, "Looking Backward: Archibald J. Motley and the Art Institute of Chicago: 1914-1930", ''Chicago History: The Magazine of the Chicago Historical Society'', Spring 1979, Vol. VIII, number 1, pp. 53-57〕
For many years the Art Institute of Chicago regularly held annual exhibits of local artists,〔 but these ended decades ago. Mary Agnes Yerkes, (1886–1989), was an American Impressionist painter and one such exhibitor at AIC from 1912-1915. Born in Oak Park, she studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, where she also taught, and the at the currently named School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is noted for her plein-air painting while camping the American West and its National Parks.
