I barely remember him, which leads me to believe that I was probably not all that impressed. At least, not the way she was. She built him up beforehand as being something really important and special. I probably would have used the word "meh"...but it hadn't been invented yet.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-2975554557204816182018-10-02T15:51:53.405-05:002018-10-02T15:51:53.405-05:00I'm just naive enough to consider self promoti...I'm just naive enough to consider self promotion tacky and tend to associate such with people like the yellow-haired guy who's always talking about how great everything that he touches turns out. Won't the world search you out if you invent the best mousetrap or create the best art? Sober reflection says, "No." Or at least the world will take its own sweet time in recognizing excellence. And what the hell is it worth to be honored after you're dead and buried? <br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-14157658438286496462018-10-02T07:29:01.260-05:002018-10-02T07:29:01.260-05:00Just so happened to have screened the Hairy Who do...Just so happened to have screened the Hairy Who documentary on Prime yesterday. There were three "groups" of Chicago Imagists in that era, and Paschke was in one called Nonplussed Some. Some also participated in a show called Marriage Chicago Style. Don Baum started showing them in these groups at the Hyde Park Arts Center in 1966. It was Chicago. Where else were they gonna show? Like any movement, I prefer some artists to others, and some works to others. Roger Brown is the most powerful in my view, but I also like the odd Paschke. It was indeed a work of art in itself the way they marketed themselves, & Jim Nutt in particular was shown all over the globe. According to the movie, many later regretted being lumped together like that but it seems to me it did them all a lot of good. btw I see Tony Fitzpatrick's work as coming along in that line of Surrealism.J.J.
