On view at the Smart Musuem in Chicago is a wonderful show detailing the work of H.C. Westerman.

Your Pal, Cliff presents Westermann with a mix of biography and insight into his craft.  The  show melds together  a mix of art, objects, and archival documents that provide a unique insight into the artists sense of craft, use of materials and decision making process.  The H.C.
