Show by University of Illinois Press
Photographer Jim Newberry documented Chicago and its musicians for more than thirty years, shooting for the artists and labels that put the city’s music scene on the map in the ’90s, as well as for the Chicago Reader and other publications. Blending an expert eye with a talent for capturing truth beneath the veneer of performance, Newberry chronicled both the stars and experimental artists of the era with an insider’s aplomb.Chicago Music, Seen collects images that reveal the diversity, depth, and dynamism of the city’s creative community. The selections reflect Newberry’s gift for intimate and authentic portraiture and his knack for catching many of his subjects in the early years of their careers. Reflections and stories by critics, friends, and by the artists themselves accompany the images.Distinctive and vivid, Chicago Music, Seen presents, as Grammy award-winning author Bob Mehr says in his foreword, “a critical cultural history of a city, but moreover, a testament to a gifted Chicago artist in his own right.”https://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=c049880
