5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" for all Ed Paschke fans and American art students., July 3, 2000

This review is from: Ed Paschke (Paperback)

One of the most prominent, innovative and influential figures of Chicago's "imagist" movement (an offshoot of the Pop Art era) was Ed Paschke. His paintings spanning a twenty-five year period were hallmarked by themes of confrontation with social and cultural values, and explored personality based media-based images including those of famous celebrities such as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and a legion of anonymous strippers, pimps, and social outcasts of every category and classification. In this outstanding work enhanced with 63 color plates and 29 b/w photographs, Neal Benezra, Dennis Adrian, Carol Schreiber, and John Yau collaborate to showcase the work, thought and influence of Ed Paschke for a new generation of art students and aficionados.
