Richard Norton Gallery (Chicago) showed work by Harold Hayden, Eugene Dana, Francis Chapin and Macena Barton at Expo Chicago 2016. The gallery often show artists with connections to Chicago. These are no exception.

Haydon, originally from Canada, moved to Chicago with his family as a youngster.  He attended the University of Chicago and eventually received a MA in philosophy. He also took courses at the School of the Art Institute. He wound up a teacher for George Williams College, University of Chicago and the School of the Art Institute. More famously, he was the art critic for the Chicago Sun-Times from 1975 to 1981.

Dana was also a teacher. His long career saw him with visiting positions at Drake University, Brooklyn College, Pratt Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University.  His positions of longest duration were in Illinois at Illinois Institute of Technology (947-1963) and University of Illinois at Chicago (1966-1985). His work shows his background in design.

Along with his friend/colleague, Glenn Allen, Dana established the Dana-Allen Dissertation Fellowship in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Dana's estate benefits the university.

Ovals, Red Drawing and Untitled (Abstraction) by Eugene Dana

Chapin, born in Ohio, graduated from Washington & Jefferson College in Pennsylvania and after attended the School of the Art Institute. He also taught for the school and exhibited there over 30 times. Barton was a Michigan native who moved to Chicago at the age of 20 to attend the School of the Art Institute. She graduated and did a year of post grad work, collecting awards along the way.

Like most artists she wound up getting a day job--she was a proofreader for RR Donnelly. Like many women artists of the era she sometimes wasn't taken seriously but she, apparently, wasn't having that (click the link above).
