Jazz (Dress or Furnishing Fabric)Channeling the rapid pace of modern life, Sonia Delaunay’s Jazz design includes forms suggestive of musical notes and notation. In a striking color palette of black, white, red, and gray, pointed angular forms abut smooth, short curves. These undulations puncuated by sharp diagonals produce a medley of syncopated sensations that evoke music and dance popular in the 1920s. Delaunay intended for her designs to produce vibrant juxtapositions of color when fashioned into garments and worn on bodies in motion.

Block 37 Proposal, Chicago, Illinois, Perspective View from Daley PlazaBlock 37, the parcel of land in the heart of Chicago’s Loop bordered by State, Randolph, Dearborn, and Washington Streets has stood idle for years in spite of numerous ideas for the construction of new buildings. The redevelopment of the block was originally conceived by Mayor Richard J. Daley in the 1970s to transform the site of old, inferior, low-rise buildings into new and larger buildings with more intensive uses in keeping with the downtown area. The site has been the object of several unsuccessful attempts at development over the years. Architect Helmut Jahn, working for the joint venture development company FJV, prepared several schemes for the site between 1983 and 1987. All of these plans envisioned a giant atrium that would permit continuous movement of pedestrians throughout the block. The developers’ failure to secure a anchor tenant for the development—along with delays by the City and the worsening economic situation—cast doom on the project.

Northwestern Terminal Tower, Chicago, Illinois, AxonometricAlthough the Northwestern Atrium Center (now Citigroup Center) meets the street as a cool, reflective waterfall of glass, this exuberant architectural rendering shows the building exploding from its foundations to expose the complex program of its base. Removed from its messy urban environment, the structure appears to float in an abstract grid, an example of Helmut Jahn’s creative exploration of the motifs, materials, and attitude of high-tech postmodern architecture. Unlike the heavy mechanics of other designers working in this vein, however, Jahn’s work evinces a touch of nostalgia for the delicate qualities of industrial architecture of the past. His Northwestern Center fuses a contemporary mirrored-glass facade with curves and articulation that recall Art Deco interiors and 19th-century iron-and-glass train sheds, an appropriate reference for this modern commuter train hub.

Zino Davidoff, a renowned Ukrainian-Swiss tobacconist and the founder of the Davidoff luxury brandThe photograph shows him standing in front of his cigar shop in Geneva, Switzerland. Zino Davidoff's father, Henri Davidoff, a tobacco merchant, opened a tobacco shop in Geneva in 1911 after the family fled Ukraine. Zino later took over the business and was instrumental in its growth. He is credited with several innovations in the cigar industry, including the invention of the desktop humidor. During World War II, he famously acquired the cigar stock from Paris to protect it from the invading forces, which cemented his reputation as a key figure in the European tobacco trade. The Davidoff brand, now owned by Oettinger Davidoff AG, has expanded beyond cigars to include a range of luxury products such as fragrances, leather goods, and accessories.

Postcard from Lesya Ukrainka to her brother Mykola and sisters Oksana and IsidoraI'm already leaving for Switzerland. I'll write tomorrow or the day after. My plans are all the same as in the letter to my father. I feel well, otherwise I wouldn't have gone. Write to me poste restante, because it's boring without news from you. I kiss everyone. I don't write to Lily and mother, because I don't know where they are. Lesya Lili did write, but mother doesn't like postcards, and there's no way to write a letter now. I really ask my father to come to terms with Kobylyanska's essays. Were they accepted by the "K[iev] Star[aryna]"? The author asks, but I don't know.

Пантелеймон Куліш у шапціPanteleimon Kulish (1819–1897) was a key figure in the Ukrainian cultural revival. He authored the first Ukrainian historical novel, The Black Council (1857), and worked as a publisher and editor (including the journal Osnova), as well as an ethnographer and historian. He developed the phonetic Ukrainian orthography known as “Kulishivka,” translated Shakespeare and worked on a translation of the Bible, helping to establish standards for the literary Ukrainian language. He moved in the circle of Taras Shevchenko, was married to the writer Hanna Barvinok (Oleksandra Bilozerska), and was connected to the intellectual milieu of the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood. He hailed from the then Chernihiv Governorate (now Sumy Oblast).

Band New Order performing live in New York in 1981 at the Ukrainian National HomeA New Beginning: This performance was part of New Order’s first U.S. tour, staged a little over a year after Joy Division singer Ian Curtis’s death. It marked a crucial step in the band’s transition and the beginning of their effort to define an identity separate from their previous group. Musical Evolution: On this tour, New Order moved beyond Joy Division’s post‑punk austerity, embracing synthesizers and propulsive rhythms. In New York they unveiled an early, unreleased ten‑minute version of Temptation, drawing rave reviews and cementing their reputation at the forefront of post‑punk. Video Recording: The show—performed in 1981 in New York City—was filmed by Michael Shamberg and later released on VHS as Taras Shevchenko, capturing the band in a raw, transitional phase and becoming a vital document of their early career. The Ukrainian National Home’s name—and the portrait of poet Taras Shevchenko hanging behind the stage—were prominently displayed, underscoring the venue’s cultural co
