  • Art Design Chicago, a Year-Long Initiative Spearheaded by Terra
    Art Design Chicago, A Year-Long Initiative Spearheaded by Terra Foundation for American Art, Explores Chicago’s Pivotal Role In Global Art and Design Movements and Innovations Exhibition Schedule, January–December 2018 CHICAGO—October 11, 2017—Spearheaded by the Terra Foundation for American Art, Art Design Chicago is a year-long initiative that explores Chicago’s role as a catalyst and incubator for innovations in art and design. Focusing on the period between the 1871 Chicago Fire and the turn of the 21st century, Art Design Chicago will feature more than 25 exhibitions, several new scholarly publications, a documentary, as well as hundreds of academic and public programs, presented from January–December 2018. Together, these activities shine a light on Chicago’s art and design legacy, providing new insights into the city’s enduring influence on fine and decorative arts, graphic and commercial design, product development, and film, and revealing lesser-known narratives of ingenuity and perseverance. Art Design Chicago was developed in partnership with more than 60 cultural organizations throughout the City of Chicago and beyond, which range widely in scale, mission, and approach. While the majority of the initiative’s activity will take place in and around Chicago, several of the exhibitions are expected to tour nationally and internationally and others will open at organizations across the U.S. To support the success of Art Design Chicago, Terra Foundation is investing more than $6.5 million, with monies going toward research and development as well as implementation grants to cultural partners, and promotional and administrative costs for the initiative.

  • Roger Brown, a Leading Painter of the Chicago
    Roger Brown, 55, Leading Chicago Imagist Painter, Dies Roberta Smith November 26, 1997 THE NEW YORK TIMES Roger Brown, a leading painter of the Chicago Imagist style, whose radiant, panoramic images were as passionately po- litical as they were rigorously visual, died on Saturday at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta. He was 55 and had homes and studios in Chicago, New Buffalo, Mich., and Carpen- teria, Calif. The cause was liver failure after a long illness, said Phyllis Kind of the Phyllis Kind Gallery, which has represented Mr. Brown since 1970. In the late 1960’s and early 70’s, Mr. Brown was one of a number of artists whose interests and talents coalesced into one of the defining moments in postwar Chicago art. The inspiration for these artists came from European Surrealism, which was prevalent in the city’s public and private collections; contemporary outsider art, which the Imagists helped promote, and popular culture, recently sanctioned by Pop Artists. In addition to Mr. Brown, these artists included Jim Nutt, Ed Paschke, Phil Hanson, Ray Yoshida, Karl Wirsum, Barbara Rossi and Gladys Nilsson, almost all of whom he met as a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and each of whom braided the city’s disparate cultural strands into a distinctive hybrid of figurative styles. Mr. Brown’s hybrid was a powerful combination of flattened, cartoonish images that featured isometric skyscrapers and tract houses, furrowed fields, undulating hills, pillowy clouds and agitated citizens, the latter usually seen in black silhouette at stark yellow windows where they enacted violent or sexual shadow plays.
