Over and over, the Chicago Imagists cast the figure in numerous roles, distorting it and layering it with metaphor and personal meaning. Outrageous, irreverent, humorous and inspired by popular culture, these works reflect highly original expressions of the human form. The Figure and the Chicago Imagists features over 20 works from the Elmhurst College Art Collection, focused on artists working in Chicago between about 1950 and the present.
