"Blue Hill" is from the collection of the Abstract Expressionist artist Emerson Woelffer who taught at Maholy-Nagy's Institute of Design in Chicago in the early 1940's with Weber and they became close friends. Weber and Woelffer created the Dada decoration for Bill and Ruth Reinhart's Jazz Ltd nightclub in Chicago.
