Karl Wirsum
March 4th-31th, 2005
In the 1960s, Karl Wirsum was a primary player in the Hairy Who, known
more formally as the Chicago Imagists. The Hairy Who were known best
for their funky and cheeky subject matter that reflected the political and
social unrest of the time. Today Wirsum continues to create his
whimsically and satirically titled pieces that allude to cartoon
classicism. This exhibition will display Wirsum's art historical
journey, ranging from the peculiar parodies of his earlier work to the
ingenuous idiosyncrasies he invents today.
Here are some highlights from the show:
