Into the World There Came a Soul Called Ida is perhaps Painter Ivan Le Lorraine Albright's most monumental work. It has been shocking the staid since its first appearance eleven years ago. One Chicago critic saw the picture and headlined his review: "Horror Features Exhibit." The detailed enormity of Ida, with her fat, sagging, varicose-veined and slightly lavender flesh, is Albright's hallmark.

Many a museum has bought his paintings, but no other collectors. One reason is the fabulous prices Ivan Albright asks for them: as much as $30,000 for his biggest works. Independent Artist Albright, already well off on the proceeds of the Albright family real-estate business in Warrenville, really doesn't care very much whether people buy his paintings or not.
