In the mid 1960s, Chicago was an incubator for an iconoclastic group of young artists collectively known as the Imagists. A cousin to the contemporaneous phenomenon of Pop Art, Chicago Imagism took its own weird, wondrous, in-your-face approach. The Imagist artists - including Roger Brown, Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt, Ed Paschke, Christina Ramberg, Karl Wirsum, and more - each had their own unmistakable styles: scatological, meticulous, comical, and absurd.
