WWI, an anxious, turbulent time -- the world known by Charles "Dixie" Jarrett. After serving in the war, Charles chose Paris as the area for artistic study and after went to Illinois as a teacher at the Chicago Art Institute. This period included "Garbo and Detrich", flappers and jazz, another world war. The march of time is shown through Jarrett's marvelous etchings of Paris, commercial advertisements of the 1930's and '40's, WW2 patriotic posters, and his sensational oil portraits and etchings of his wife and David Johnson's aunt, Elizabeth Johnson Jarrett. |
