Talk:George Cohen

message: The Chicago Imagists is the name of a group of representational artists associated with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago who exhibited at the Hyde Park Art Center in the late 1960s. Their work was known for grotesquerie, surrealism, and complete uninvolvement with New York art world trends. One remarkable thing about them was the high proportion of female artists among them.
There are three distinct groups which outside of Chicago are indiscriminately bundled together as Imagists: The Monster Roster, the Hairy Who, and the Chicago Imagists.

[edit] The Monster Roster
The Monster Roster was a group of Chicago artists, several of whom served in World War II and were able to go to art school thanks to the G.I. Bill. They were given their name in 1959 by critic Franz Schulze, based on their existential, sometimes gruesome, semi-mystical figurative work. The Monster Roster included:
Don Baum 
Carlo Campoli 
George Cohen 
Dominic Di Meo 
Leon Golub 
Theodore Halkin 
June Leaf 
Seymour Rosofsky 
Nancy Spero 
H. C. Westermann 
Karl Wirsum 
[edit] The Hairy Who
The Hairy Who were a subgroup of the Imagists (see below). Don Baum curated three "Hairy Who" exhibitions at the Hyde Park Art Center in 1966, 1967, and 1968. The name is meant to sound like a rock group. The Hairy Who included:
Don Baum 
James Falconer 
Art Green 
Gladys Nilsson 
Jim Nutt 
Suellen Rocca 
Karl Wirsum. 
[edit] The Chicago Imagists
The Imagists were not a formal group, but rather a description of artists involved in shows curated by Don Baum in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. In addition to the Hairy Who, above, they included:
Roger Brown 
Eleanor Dube 
Phil Hanson 
Ed Paschke 
Christina Ramberg 
Barbara Rossi 
[edit] Artists Who Are Not Imagists
Outside of Chicago, any Chicago artist whose work is figurative and quirky is often called an Imagist. Chicago artists who paint strange and figurative works, but are not Imagists, include:
Robert Lostutter 
Hollis Sigler 
Eleanor Spiess-Ferris

message: Is he really Jewish? Because his nephew, Ben Cohen isn't Jewish, neither are his family (at least for some generations), so probably George isn't Jewish. --Ario ManUtd (talk) 04:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: He is. He stated it a few times and his surname Cohen is Jewish.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.115.202 (talk) 22:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
