Lake County artist exhibit opening at Dunn Museum “Reima Ratti: Life and Art in the Great Depression” is opening this weekend at the Dunn Museum, 1899 W. Winchester Road in Libertyville. The exhibition will run Saturday, January 25 through April 12 at the nationally accredited museum, a distinction held by only 3% of American Museums. Artist Reima Ratti (19141945) was born in Waukegan to Finnish immigrants and came of age during the Great Depression. His realistic art, classed in the American Scene movement, shows the economic and social changes he experienced during the depression in Lake County. “From a dark ‘muddy’ palate, Reima showed beauty in the toil of fishermen working their nets, the culture of Finnish baths, and everyday activity inside a local diner,” said Dunn Museum Curator Diana Dretske. Known as “Ray” to his friends, Ratti’s love of art guided his life as he docu-
mented the world around him in sketches and paintings of landscapes and his community, until his untimely death at the age of 31.The Dunn Museum has the largest known publicly held collection of Ratti’s work. In 2004, his work was donated to the Dunn Museum from the estate of his fiancee, Mary Sadler. “This is the first time the public will have the opportunity to see the range of Ratti’s work,” said Andrew Osborne, superintendent of educational facilities at the Lake County Forest Preserves. “The exhibit allows visitors to explore the Great Depression through the eyes of one of Lake County’s most famous artists,” Osborne said. While about 20 paintings make up the majority of the exhibit, framed sketches, 3D sculptures and memorabilia from his personal life are also included. “Visitors also will discover why sketches are an important part of the creative process for an
artist. They will have the ability to digitally flip through Ratti’s sketchbook,” said Steve Furnett, Dunn Museum exhibitions and collections manager. Ratti worked in all mediums including oil, graphite, ink, pastel, gouache, and woodcut prints. His subjects included friends and family, working-class people, and buildings and landscapes. Some of his art was created in the studio he built in the backyard of his family’s Waukegan home. Since he worked as a baker at the Co-operative Bakery in the early morning, he was able to paint during the day when natural light was best. “Ratti’s art studio became a haven for himself and his artist friends,” Dretske said. His Finnish heritage and living in Waukegan’s Finnish working-class neighborhoods inspired much of Ratti’s work. His parents were part
