William Glackens got his start in the art departments of Philadelphia newspapers in the day of the artist-reporter. These predecessors to modern photojournalists were given assignments by editors like, “Cover that fire on Locust Street!” In one well-known anecdote the artist was sent to sketch a crime scene that had already been roped off by police. To access the scene Glackens supposedly climbed through an open window only to fall into a pool of the victim’s blood.
Madron Gallery’s in-house press publishes high-quality art books that focus on the lives and works of influential, lesser-known modern artists, particularly those with a connection to Chicago. To place orders shipping outside of the continental United States, please contact the gallery at (312) 640-1302.
