The Art Institute of Chicago presents, The Last Harvest: Paintings of Rabindranath Tagore – Indian-Bengali artist (1851-1941).
“A renowned novelist, poet, musician, and philosopher—the first non-European to beawarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913—Tagore is responsible for shaping the modern Indian identity. While perhaps lesser known, his paintings also demonstrate his profound cultural impact. Sixty-one of these impressive works, drawn from three collections in India, come together in this exhibition and offer a glimpse into the visionary mind of this influential thinker.”

"Rip" Woods
The late Rip Woods, Co-founder of ABC/AZ, wrote: My work represents a wide array of personal choices, all of which are attitudes by their own definitions. I do not know what they mean but I know where they come from. They speak in part of being Black in America, and particularly in art, where opportunities for inclusion in the mainstream are limited and somewhat polarized. I have tried to address these issues with both humor and guilt. While my images are generally satirical some may find them offensive, by the way I’m having fun.
