From Art Institute Chicago: "Chicago native Ivan Albright (1897-1983) remains one of the most uncompromising artists of the 20th century, a master of the macabre famous for his richly detailed paintings of ghoulish subjects. A medical draftsman during World War I, Albright portrayed the bodys vulnerabilityto age, disease, and deathin works that provoked outrage and admiration... Albrights desire to present the minutest subtleties of human flesh or the tiniest elements of a still life often required that he spend years on a single painting."
