This rock south of La Rabida Hospital on Chicago’s South Side hosts some of the lakefront’s most magnificent carvings, 12 of them, all apparently from the same hand and executed between 1948 and 1953. When I first found it the rock was right at the water line, very wet and very colorful. When I returned this year it was finally well above the water, thoroughly dry and restored to its normal color. And the light was the best yet. Worth swiping to see the detail. You can see many more Chicago rock carvings in my book Lakefront Anonymous, which you can buy via my interestingideas.com site, linked from my bio.

Lakefront Anonymous: Chicago’s Unknown Art Gallery

Poèmes Bleus
Beneath the strict facade of geometric shapes, lie intense and complex emotions. Each brush stroke, each ink spot is a whisper, a melody, a tale.
Poetry is chaos, yet it is also the strength that allows these worlds to hold together.
