Lewis Achenbach: Jazz Occurence

Wheaton Public Library regularly hosts exhibits in its Arts & Culture Center, located on the first floor of the library. This is part of an ongoing effort to support local and regional artists and connect them with current and future art appreciators in the community.

Lewis Achenbach interprets the music and atmosphere of an event in his artwork in the moment.

“It started with documenting live music through an imaginative process, but it has become much more. It now feels like a translation or an amalgam of two languages.”

– Lewis Achenbach

“Achenbach’s images — crowded with color, punctuated with long lines and surging with energy — express not only the vitality of Chicago jazz in the 21st century but his own ardor for it.” 

– Howard Reich, The Chicago Tribune
