Archibald J. Motley, Jr.., Blues, late 1920s. Oil on canvas.

Archibald Motley, Jr.’s painting captures the sights and sounds of a black-and-tan nightclub in the late ’20s, where patrons could be free from the strictures of white society. He painted this work while on a Guggenheim Fellowship in Paris but returned in 1930 to become a significant figure in the Harlem Renaissance and in the lively Chicago arts scene.
