The Chicago Imagists

Although this movement has its roots in the 50s, it is still important in the work of Roger Brown, among others who continued painting into the 80s. This movement is characterized by refined and intricate techniques that are rarely gestural and a strong pop cultural influence as well as an affinity with so-called "ousider art."
