The Chicago Imagists
The Imagists were not a formal group, but rather a description of artists involved in shows curated by Don Baum in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. Several other artists, including Roger Brown, Ed Paschke, Barbara Rossi and Phil Hanson are often incorrectly associated with the Hairy Who exhibitions, when in fact they showed at the Hyde Park Art Center between 1968-1971 in several other shows, such as "Non-Plussed Some", "False Image", "Chicago Antigua" and "Marriage Chicago Style".In addition to the Hairy Who, above, they included:
- Roger Brown
- Eleanor Dube
- Phil Hanson
- Ed Paschke
- Christina Ramberg
- Barbara Rossi
In 1969 the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago exhibited many Imagists, including Ray Yoshida, in a show entitled "Don Baum Sez 'Chicago Needs Famous Artists'".
