Creativity Class
How China's art students develop their aesthetic styles and enter the nation's creative economy The last three decades have seen a massive expansion of China's visual culture industries, from architecture and graphic design to fine art and fashion.

Still the modern in Chicago continues to thrive, as new generations of artists incorporate its legacy into fresh visions for the future. Chicago Makes Modern boldly remaps twentieth-century modernism from our new-century perspective by asking an imperative question: How did the modern mind—deeply reflective, yet simultaneously directed...
