From the painting of murals as a way to reclaim public space and the establishment of inde- pendent community art centers to the work of the AFRICOBRA collective People’s Sake: and Black filmmakers, artists on Chicago’s South and West Sides built a vision of art as service to the people.

The confluence of the cultural and political production generated through the Black Arts Move- ment in Chicago is often overshadowed by the artistic largesse of the Amer- ican coasts. No longer.

  • Download the Conference Program
    A NOTE FROM THE HOST COMMITTEE For four days in November, Pasadena will serve as MSA’s base of operations. (We understand there’s some minor affair planned for the city on New Year’s Day, but we’re sure it pales in comparison.) Welcome to the joys of Southern California in the fall! None of this would have been possible without the generous help of our local collaborators in and around this lovely city, including the staffs at the Westin Pasadena and the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. Our efforts have been guided along the way by the MSA Board. We’re particularly indebted to Treasurer Gayle Rogers, Program Committee Chair Lisi Schoenbach, and MSA President Stephen Ross. The seasoned advice from last year’s organizer, Carrie Preston, helped keep it all in perspective and Alex Christie, web-master extraordinaire, agreed once again to manage the medium for the MSA message (gratis). MSA 18 would never have happened without the help of our fearless assistant, April Anderson, the one who kept us on track so that fun could be had by all. So, here’s to the fun, however you define it, and to making MSA 18 a “conference to remember.” Kevin Dettmar & Eric Bulson, Yr Obt. Servants 1 A Message from the MSA President For this year’s conference we have taken special efforts to introduce streams within the program that are aimed at more fully integrating interdisciplinary approaches, and in line with the conference theme. “Dream Factories” focuses on topics such as surrealism, psychoanalysis, fashion, architecture, cinema and design; “California and the Cultures of Modernism” considers linguistic, cultural, and racial diversity.

  • The New York Times August 30, 2018
    THE NEW YORK TIMES AUGUST 30, 2018 THIS SURREALIST IS HAVING A MOMENT, 66 YEARS AFTER HER LAST NEW YORK SHOW By Roberta Smith An installation view of “Gertrude Abercrombie,” an exhibition on view at Karma in the East Vil- lage. From left: “Esther Wilcox,” 1936; “The Pedestal,” 1938; “Landscape With Church,” 1939. With nearly 70 paintings and a four-and-a-half-pound book, the exhibition “Gertrude Abercrombie” reintroduces New York to the lonely, poignant art of an overlooked American Surrealist painter from the Midwest. Abercrombie (1909-77) — whose work has not had a solo show here since 1952 — was also a jazz devotee, Chicago bohemian and saloniste, and her return represents a herculean effort. Karma, the gallery (and publisher) where the show is on view, often outdoes itself, and has done so again, this time with assistance from the writer and independent curator Dan Nadel. The essays in the book — which reproduces many additional paintings — take us deep into Abercrombie’s life and times. Robert Cozzolino, a curator at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, writes that “Abercrombie was at the hub of several overlapping cultural circles, and her Chicago was at the center of everything.” The circles were literary and musical as well as artistic, and her intimates sometimes called her “Queen of Chicago.” Dizzy Gillespie was a close friend, one of many jazz greats who attended and sometimes performed at the weekend parties regularly thrown in the late 1940s and ’50s by Abercrombie and her second husband, the music critic Frank Sandiford. The musicians sometimes stayed in Abercrombie’s big Victorian in Hyde Park when hotels refused black guests.

  • 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.
