This exhibition was a mid-career retrospective of
influential Chicago Imagist, Barbara Rossi. Rossi first began exhibiting in
1969 when the Chicago Imagists were on the verge of national and international
recognition. Rossi’s meticulously rendered drawings and cartoonish paintings
played an integral part in those seminal exhibitions. While many of the
founding Imagists have faded from the public eye, the continued excellence of
artists such as Rossi has ensured Imagism’s role as the dominant influence on
Chicago art in the past two decades, and its significant contribution to
contemporary art throughout the country.
