"Ed Paschke is one of Chicago’s most renowned artists. Born and raised on the North Side, Paschke became interested in art at an early age, drawn by his father’s sketches and Disney animation.

Paschke distinguished himself by using newspapers, posters and photographs as source material, as well as adding a social or political dimension to much of his work.

Paschke's career had many different periods and styles. An excellent example from the 1990s is on permanent view on the second floor of the Harold Washington Library Center.
