Future in question for Chicago Loop Synagogue – The Forward

CHICAGO (JTA) Just three stories high and hemmed into a small 5,000-square-foot lot, the building at 16 S. Clark St. is a small jewel box situated amid this city’s dense urban fabric. Exuding an aura of cool simplicity, the structure’s facade is composed of glass, metal and concrete planes. Its name is etched in delicate gold lettering: Chicago Loop Synagogue. Perched above the synagogue’s front door, a two-ton sculpture extends over the sidewalk. Created by Henri Azaz in 1963, the work consists of bold letters tumbling over each other spelling the priestly benediction. A pair of massive hands emerges from the words, sloping downward as though placing a blessing on the heads of all those who enter.

Keith Haring: Personal Spiritual Imagery - Revd Jonathan Evens

/ Keith Haring was a revolutionary artist who transformed the art world during his short but impactful life, having become known initially for art that proliferated in the New York subway system during the early 1980s. A key belief was that “Art is for everybody.” He created a truly public art from chalk drawings in the subways to the establishment of his Pop Shop, where his artwork could be obtained at an affordable price. By expressing universal concepts – birth, death, love, sex, and war – through a directness of line and message, he gained an audience that was broad and secured the staying power of his imagery.

Review: In Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts, ex-slave becomes art giant

G. Allen Johnson April 13, 2021Updated: April 13, 2021, 6:36 pm The subject of the documentary “Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts,” about an Alabama farmer who was born into slavery and became a celebrated artist. Photo: Kino Lorber By the time Charles Shannon, a white artist in Montgomery, Ala., came across Bill Traylor, a homeless African American man scribbling away on pieces of cardboard as people passed by on the city’s celebrated Monroe Street, Traylor was in his 80s, having lived quite the life. Born into slavery in 1853, Traylor worked as a sharecropper for decades into his 70s, until the boll weevil infestation that swept the South in the early 20th century devastated his farm, prompting his move to Montgomery. So he told his story and that of the Jim Crow South in thousands of remarkable sketches, drawings and paintings.
