Abstract
The formalist, progressive ideology commonly associated with postwar art in New York has rarely challenged the anti-ideal, imagistic approach prevalent in Chicago. The work of Ivan Albright, Leon Golub, and Ed Paschke, the leading painters of their respective generations in Chicago, exemplifies this local tendency. But these three artists have also stood apart from their Chicago contemporaries, rejecting, for the most part, surreal or naïve modes in favor of investigating the ways reality is directly perceived, or mediated by photomechanical reproduction.
