Friedman Collection of Chicago Painting

Karl Krafft, 1925




Chicago's Art Institute has turned its back
on Chicago painting for more than 50 years

But several private collections
have begun
to define this genre


Carl Brandner, 1945




And, of course,
the Palette and Chisel
plays an important role
in all of them.


Carl Brandner, 1945
