Selected biography
Wadsworth Aekins Jarrell is an African-American painter , sculptor and printmaker . Born in Albany, Georgia , he moved to Chicago, Illinois , where he attended the Art Institute of Chicago . After graduation, he became heavily involved in the local art scene and through his early work he explored the working life of blacks in Chicago and found influence in the sights and sounds of jazz music . In the late 1960s he opened WJ Studio and Gallery, where, along with his wife, Jae, he hosted regional artists and musicians. Mid-1960s Chicago saw a rise in racial violence leading to the examination of race relations and black empowerment by local artists. Jarrell became involved in the Organization of Black American Culture, a group that would serve as a launching pad for the era's black art movement. In 1967, OBAC artists created the Wall of Respect , a mural in Chicago that depicted African American heroes and is credited with triggering the political mural movement in Chicago and beyond. In 1969, Jarrell co-founded AFRI-COBRA: African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists. AFRI-COBRA would become internationally acclaimed for their politically themed art and use of "coolaid colors" in their paintings. Jarrell's career took him to Africa in 1977, where he found inspiration in the Senufo people of Nigeria . Upon return to the United States he moved to Georgia and taught at the University of Georgia . In Georgia, he began to use a bricklayer's trowel on his canvases, creating a textured appearance within his already visually active paintings. The figures often seen in his paintings are abstract and inspired by the masks and sculptures of Nigeria. These Nigerian arts have also inspired Jarrell's totem sculptures. Living and working in Cleveland, Jarrell continues to explore the contemporary African American experience through his paintings, sculptures, and prints. His work is found in the collections of the National Museum of African American History and Culture , High Museum of Art , The Studio Museum in Harlem and the University of Delaware .
Selected landmark
The
Michigan Avenue Bridge (officially
DuSable Bridge ) is a
bascule bridge that carries
Michigan Avenue across the main stem of the
Chicago River in downtown
Chicago , Illinois, United States. The bridge was planned in the early 20th century as part of a scheme to link Chicago's south side and north side parks with a grand boulevard. Construction of the bridge started in 1918, it opened to traffic in 1920, and work on the decoration of the bridge was completed in 1928. The bridge provides passage for vehicles and pedestrians on two levels; it is an example of a fixed
trunnion bascule bridge, which later became widely known as a "Chicago style bascule". The bridge is included in the
Michigan–Wacker Historic District and has been designated as a
Chicago Landmark . The location of the bridge is significant in the early history of Chicago and events in the city's history are commemorated with sculptures and plaques on the bridge. The bridge also houses the McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum in one of the bridge tender houses.
