Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the work of a group of artists working in Chicago who gained national recognition in 1959 after an exhibition in New York where they were labeled the "Monster School." There were three distinct self-identified groups associated with the Chicago Imagist school: The Hairy Who, The Monster Roster, and The Chicago Imagists. The style is influenced by popular culture and outsider art, often incorporating images from comic strips and other print media.
