A rediscovered regionalist: Herman Menzel examines the work of a native Chicagoan who used his art to interpret the city in which he lived and to explore his own psyche. Menzel's haunting renderings of everyday life offer provocative comparisons with the urban imagery of his artistic contemporaries. They also provide insights into Chicago's artistic life in the lively decades of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. The Chicago Historical Society is pleased to present this important exhibition and accompanying publication, which will make significant contributions to the scholarship on Chicago's art history.
