William S. Schwartz: Color and Coloratura delves into the vibrant and wide-ranging oeuvre of a man who helped define what it meant to be a twentieth century Chicago artist working during the tumultuous period encompassing the Jazz Age, Clutch Plague, and Second World War. From his early years as an opera-singing Russian immigrant who shocked instructors with his unprecedented palettes, to his later, more mature explorations in form and abstraction — particularly his famed Symphonic Forms series — William S. Schwartz: Color and Coloratura traces the winding journey of a prolific and unapologetic artist through in-depth analyses of more than 20 of his genre-defying paintings and lithographs.
Robert Vonnoh: American Impressionist examines the versatility and radical experimentation found in the portraits and landscapes of “a pioneering figure in the development of American impressionism.” The catalogue was written to accompany a multi-city retrospective of Vonnoh's work.
