From Ayer Art Digital Collection (Newberry Library) in CARLI Digital Collections.

When I saw this image it reminded me of Ginevra de'Benci by Leonardo da Vinci 300 years earlier. In particular, Female Tattooed reprises the three-quarter pose and the outdoor background.

From Normal Editions Workshop (N.E.W.) Archive (Illinois State University) in CARLI Digital Collections.

 

Dutch Mills is striking because of its simplicity. It is a triptych of sketches of a pair of windmills. The left panel reveals the most detail, with the central windmill outlined clearly against the sky, and the second windmill is a hazy silhouette in the background. The middle panel is hastily sketched, giving a mere impression of the mills and an overcast sky. Finally, the right panel is drawn with heavy black lines, lending a weight to the composition. Together the three versions provide a glimpse into the workings of the artist and the many ways one might approach a simple subject.

Coca-Cola "Coke" Dance, Navy Pier Campus
From Navy Pier Campus, 1946-1948 (University of Illinois at Chicago) in CARLI Digital Collections.

This image of postwar American youth with a Coke and a smile could almost be an ad, but it’s the real thing, from a newly-added photograph collection documenting the early days of the U of I campus in Chicago.
