The art historian E. John Bullard once wrote of the artist: “William Schwedler created a substantial body of work in a coherent and personal style… . He painted with maturity and unique individuality. His work consistently displayed an interest in the irrational and surreal, moving from severely stylized urbanscapes to total abstraction.” Dedicated to printmaking as a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, here Schwedler depicted what was then the back stairs of the Art Institute in multiple perspectives - AIC Catalogue entry
