Paintings by Steve Connell
The Chicago Theatre built in 1921 on State Street was one of the first lavish movie palaces of the day and became a prototype for theaters throughout the country. Over the years it was converted into a venue for live shows of all kinds and has become a Chicago icon.
The neon sign is one of the most famous theater marquees in the world and I could not resist painting it and adding to my night series.
