About This Item
Chicago, IL: Art Institute of Chicago, 2013. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; name inside front cover; otherwise as new; In the first half of the 20th century, thousands of newcomers - Europeans, Mexicans, and southerners both black and white - flocked to Chicago. These new residents included artists who made significant contributions to the vibrant cultural life of the city. Immigration and migration, assimilation, and alienation were topics that resonated with artists as they sought to establish new lives in a strange city. They explored the repercussions of migration with an unflinching eye, exposing the continued social injustices faced by migrants.
