In the 1960s, Chicago was the second largest city in — the United States and the site of cultural and political — upheaval-including the protests surrounding the — 1968 Democratic convention. Despite this turmoil- — or perhaps because of it-Chicago forged its — own artistic brand with the emergence of the Chicago — Imagists. Drawing inspiration from t

he everyday
world, comic books, popular culture, pornography,
Surrealism, and non-western art, these young
artists, in a series of exhibitions at the Hyde Park Art
Center, created energetic, figurative paintings with
vibrant colors that were titled with humorous puns.
Chicago Imagists includes six essays and an extensive
chronology and provides critical analysis of the
arresting, but sometimes overlooked, work of Roger
Brown, Sarah Canright, James Falconer, Ed Flood,
Art Green, Philip Hanson, Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt,
Ed Paschke, Christina Ramberg, Suellen Rocca,
Barbara Rossi, and Karl Wirsum. In this volume
Madison Museum of Contemporary Art curator of
collections, Richard H. Axsom draws strong
corollaries between the coastal movements of Pop art
and this younger, Midwestern version. Curator
Lynne Warren traces the origin of the term "Chicago
Imagists," and in a second essay delves into sexuallycharged
humor of these works, paying close
attention to their titles. MMoCA director Stephen
Fleischman discusses the forward-thinking collectors,
critics, curators, and dealers who championed
this work before it was recognized on a national
level. MMoCA curator Jane Simon finds reflections
of the political, social, and cultural transformation
of the 1960s in the work of the Imagists. Over
a third of the Imagists were women, and feminist
scholar Cécile Whiting examines how these women
artists rethought femininity.
This volume is essential for anyone interested
in drawing, painting, prints, sculpture, and
American art.
