Joe Zucker: Saskatoon, 1998; acrylic and rhoplex on canvas.
*ST
of my work. Sometimes, to make an
image legible, I need a larger-scale
format!'
Zucker, the only artist in his fam-
ily, began taking classes at the Art
Institute of Chicago when he was 5
years old. His mother had studied
there and thought her son could ben-
efit from the children's program.
Although he entered an art cur-
riculum and played basketball for two
years at Miami University of Ohio, he
returned to the Chicago institute to
get his bachelor's and master's degrees
in painting.
"When I got to college, it sort of
hit me that painting was something
I could do, and I was interested
enough to make it a lifelong project:'
says Zucker, who has taught at the
Minneapolis College of Art, New York
University and Harvard.
"Painting became addictive and,
as the years went by, I got a fuller
understanding of what I was doing.
The work became a marriage of talent
and ambition, and I had a lot of luck
to survive!'
Aside from luck, he has called upon
different types of paint to achieve
artistic goals. For the canoe, he needed
a stiffer substance and combined
acrylics with a gel medium. The chair
series used house paints because of
their fluidity and finish selections.
In the 1970s, when Zucker worked
on paintings about racism, he incor-
porated cotton to extend communica-
tion of the subject.
With numerous solo and group
exhibits in and out of the United
States, Zucker's paintings became part
of museum collections. The Detroit
Institute of Arts owns one showing a
naval battle during the Revolutionary
War, and the Jewish Museum in New
York City has a Golem painting.
Zucker, who doesn't practice
Judaism but identifies with the mod-
em accomplishments of Jews, has
painted a small New York synagogue
as if it were a stained glass window.
He titled it St. Sinai, recalling the way
people referred to the very Reform
Chicago congregation he attended as
a child.
"I used to work between 10 and 12
hours a day, but now I like to get what
I'm doing done before lunchtime," says
Zucker, married to interior designer
Britta Le Va.
"At my age, I like to keep my work
hours somewhat reasonable, but
sometimes I paint in the afternoon,
depending on the process involved.
"I see my work as one big painting
that's connected. The painting I did
yesterday fits into a context with one
I did 30 years ago. My main goal is to
continue an overall control of the body
of work."
