In early 1960s Chicago, Wadsworth Jarrell developed his name by painting crowded jazz clubs and bar scenes, based on his sketches at these nightspots. In 1964, his watercolor The Art Pub was accepted to the Art Institute of Chicago's Second Biennial of Prints, Drawings, Watercolors By Illinois Artists, causing his career to grow.
