May 13th 1972

We are pleased to present this survey of what has come to be known as the “Chicago School”, an art characterized by an energetic, individual concern with fantasy and imagery. Although the style has developed over some twenty-five years, this exhibition is the first to examine it as an historical entity. While this exhibition seeks to distinguish the salient features of the Chicago manner it does not seek to make a definitive statement about a style characterized as much by its individuality as by its lively persistence. What is clear at this point however, is the richness, complexity, vitality and beauty of this artistic tradition. – Stephen S Prokopoff, Director
