Green Lantern Press’s newest publication: The United Colors of Robert Earl Page

Get your copy of the first major publication focusing on artist, designer, and educator Robert Earl Paige.

Robert Earl Paige is one of the most iconic artists and designers from Chicago’s South Side. A multidisciplinary artist and arts educator, he works across textile design, painting, collage, and sculpture. During the 1970s, he brought West African–inspired patterns to U.S. shoppers through the Dakkabar fabrics collection available at Sears, Roebuck, leading to the inclusion of Black culture in home design.

In addition to exploring Paige’s personal and artistic practice, through essays by Dr. Romi Crawford and Dr. Gervais Marsh, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige contextualizes his work in relation to social and artistic movements, from the minimalism and abstraction of the 1960s and 1970s to AFRI-COBRA and the Black Arts Movement in Chicago and across the United States. Curator Allison Peters Quinn collaborates with Paige to offer inspiration and tools for younger artists to develop lifelong creative practices. An interview between Paige and fiber artist Anne Wilson traces his career path, starting as a young designer at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; his travel to West Africa, South Africa, and Milan; his studies at the Art Institute of Chicago; and features insights into Paige’s influences; his friendships with important cultural figures such as James Baldwin; his interest in blurring boundaries between design, art, and craft; and his teaching philosophies.

Published in conjunction with Paige’s exhibition at Hyde Park Art Center in 2024, this fully illustrated book includes reproductions of the artist’s hand-painted scarves, collages, and rugs made during the past sixty years, along with new ceramic tiles, collages, and textiles.

Get Involved

We bring artists and communities together to support creativity at every level.

Within its facility, the Art Center offers a comprehensive roster of programs that work in concert to make contemporary art more approachable. It does so by involving the community in dynamic engagement with art and artists through exhibitions, artist talks, studio art classes, an international residency program, free public events, and professional development opportunities for artists. Outside its walls, the Art Center’s outreach programs in historically underserved neighborhoods bring the visual arts to Chicago youth, their teachers, and their families.

By developing socially adept programming that finds new ways to engage diverse audiences in the work of Chicago’s artists, the Art Center makes space for transparent interaction with art and the artistic process, inspiring creative exploration and encouraging exchange between audiences and artists.
