William Jacobs
A Chicago native, William Jacobs was an American artist, born in 1897. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and Hull House. From the 1930s, through the 1950s, his works were exhibited at the “A.I.C. Regional Painters Show” and the Jewish Women's Art Club, a philanthropic organization dedicated to selling the art of midwestern painters. Jacobs was also a WPA muralist, who painted for the Chicago Public Schools. An expressionist by temperament and a modernist by conviction, William was an artist of his generation, choosing to depict the industrial symbols of Chicago and its roiling tenements, in his art. Jacobs lived in the Jewish Maxwell Street district on South Halsted and used the everyday life of his neighborhood, as source material for his work.
