Judith Raphael (born 1938) is an American figurative painter and educator based in Chicago. [1] [2] She is known for provocative depictions of childhood, particularly contemporary girlhood and its passage toward adulthood. [3] [4] [5] This work emerged in the wake of feminism, and in style and content, was influenced by figurative painters such as Paula Rego, Balthus and Lucian Freud. [6] [7] [8] Her paintings often recast heroic art-historical portrayals of men (e.g., appropriated postures from classical sculptures of David and Greek warriors) with contemporary girls in order to redress the paucity of strong female icons in Western art. [9] [10] [6] Writer Carol Becker said of Raphael's later portraits, "[her] girls are different races and sizes, and each one’s face and posture is unique, but they share attitude. Although they are hip, they seem not yet secure in who they are or what they are about; they appear to be trying to construct their identities." [8]

Life and career

Raphael was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1938. [11] She earned a BFA from the University of Mississippi in 1960 and a MA from Northwestern University in 1962. [16] She taught art at Moraine Valley Community College from 1969 to 2000 and also at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). [11] [16] In 1980, she married artist and SAIC professor Tony Phillips. Since 1985, they have lived and worked out of their converted warehouse in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago. [3] [16] She has a daughter, Leslie Gordon; her son, the late Alex Gordon, was also an artist. [17]

In her early career, Raphael exhibited at venues including the Art Institute of Chicago, Hyde Park Art Center, ARC, Artemisia Gallery, Chicago Cultural Center and Gwenda Jay Gallery. [11] [18] [19] Later exhibitions took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, [9] National Academy Museum, [20] Illinois State Museum, [21] [22] Frye Art Museum, [23] the 55 Mercer (New York), Lyons Wier and Gesheidle (both Chicago) galleries, [5] [10] [1] [24] and the Riverside Arts Center, among others.

Raphael's work of the 1960s and 1970s centered on watercolor paintings of lush vegetation: spindly, complex organizations of plants rendered largely in greens and browns. [8] [25] By the early 1980s, she began to incorporate creatures—a taxidermied fox, iguana, crow or hawk—into carefully observed watercolors of increasingly complex, staged tableaux. [26] [27] [8]

By the early 1990s, Raphael turned to the figure, taking childhood as a subject in sometimes-startling paintings examining myths and realities of gender and identity. [19] [5] [28] These narrative works depicted impassive figures—most often girls and young women in enigmatic, vaguely disturbing or ritual-like situations with older men or boys (e.g., Daddy's Girl or In Motion, 1996). [19] [12] [7] [9] Carol Becker wrote of the former, "Enigmatic paintings like this one capture the dramatic and traumatic experiences of childhood, whose residue a child carries into adulthood and the adult often cannot transcend"; New York Times critic Vivien Raynor described such works as "capturing the weirdness of Balthus." [8] [7] Raphael extended this theme in a series of large, ambiguous beach paintings depicting play in Lake Michigan that suggested imminent danger and adult neglect (e.g., Falling Child, 1992). [8]

In the latter 1990s, her adult figures receded and the images took a more raucous turn, depicting young girls as athletic, confident and fearless in heroic, mythological poses from art history that in their transformation evoked both lost innocence and budding aggression and power. [29] [9] [30] [31] Paintings like Victory Parade or Conquest and Clemency (both 1998) referenced celebratory tableaux of Roman soldiers returning from battle; in the latter, a girl fearlessly rides a fierce pit bull into a group of girls playing with a hula hoop, leotard and microphone. [8] [4] While these works broke from stereotypical representations of girlhood, Raphael suggested the ongoing burden of history with ghostly backdrops of anachronistic gender symbols and scenes that one review likened to "kiddie wallpaper." [10] [32] [8]

Critics such as Alan Artner noted that Raphael's subsequent work dispensed with art historical and period references and became "subtler in expression" of adolescence. [2] [24] [8] It took two forms: single figures set against highly saturated, decontextualized grounds, the lack of contextual clues foregrounding contemporary stances and attitudes; and larger, multi-figure scenes depicting active or aggressive behavior—jumping, shouting, conversing or confronting, striking martial arts poses—that continued to break from conventional gender representation. [2] [24] [6] Works such as Hang Tight or Free Fall (2008) portrayed girls skydiving, trailing smoke from their heels and doing wheelies on bicycles in the open sky, unrestrained and serene, without a hint of danger. [8] [4] In another later series, Raphael depicted two children––her grandchildren from her late son––as vulnerable and ephemeral, yet anchored to earth, against seas of stars or lush gardens (e.g., Surveying the Universe, 2012). [8]

Recognition

Raphael has received grants and awards from the Illinois Arts Council (1984, 1987, 1990, 2002), Springfield Art Museum (1986), National Endowment for the Arts/Arts Midwest (1992) and National Academy Museum (Adolph & Clara Obrig Prize, 2004). [3] [33] [13] [16] [6] She has been awarded artist residencies from the American Academy in Rome (visiting artist), Djerassi, Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation (Bellagio, Italy), Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and Yaddo. [34] [16] [35] [36] [37] Her work belongs to the public collections of the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Rockford Art Museum, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, State of Illinois, and St. Xavier College.

Visual arts of Chicago refers to paintings, prints, illustrations, textile art, sculpture, ceramics and other visual artworks produced in Chicago or by people with a connection to Chicago. Since World War II, Chicago visual art has had a strong individualistic streak, little influenced by outside fashions. "One of the unique characteristics of Chicago," said Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts curator Bob Cozzolino, "is there's always been a very pronounced effort to not be derivative, to not follow the status quo." The Chicago art world has been described as having "a stubborn sense ... of tolerant pluralism." However, Chicago's art scene is "critically neglected." Critic Andrew Patner has said, "Chicago's commitment to figurative painting, dating back to the post-War period, has often put it at odds with New York critics and dealers." It is argued that Chicago art is rarely found in Chicago museums; some of the most remarkable Chicago artworks are found in other cities.

Pamela Helena Wilson is an American artist. She is best known for watercolor drawings and paintings derived from photographs, largely of news events, architectural forms and landscapes. Her journalistic sources frequently portray scenes of natural and human-made calamity and the conflict, devastation and reactions that follow, often involving teeming crowds and demonstrations. Wilson's process and visual editing obscure these events, translating the images into suggestive, new visual experiences with greater urgency, universality and an open-endedness that plays against expectations. In 2013, critic Michelle Grabner wrote, "The luminosity of watercolor on white paper and the alluring atmospheric effects [Wilson] achieves in this medium creates images that are neither photographic or illustrational but seductively abstract and representational."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Don Baum</span> American curator, artist and educator

Don Baum was an American curator, artist and educator, most known as a key impresario and promoter of the Chicago Imagists, a group of artists that had an enduring impact on American art in the later twentieth century. Described by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (MCA) as "an indispensable curator of the Chicago school," Baum was known for lively and irreverent exhibitions that offered fresh perspectives combining elements of Surrealism and Pop and that broke down barriers between schooled and untrained, or so-called outsider artists. From 1956 to 1972, Baum was exhibitions director at Chicago's Hyde Park Art Center. It was there, in the 1960s, that he became involved with a group of young artists he exhibited as "Hairy Who" that later expanded to become the Chicago Imagists. That group included Ed Paschke, Jim Nutt, Roger Brown, Gladys Nilsson, and Karl Wirsum. Baum mounted two major shows at the MCA that featured the emerging artists in their first museum exhibitions: "Don Baum Sez: 'Chicago Needs Famous Artists'" (1969) and "Made in Chicago" (1973), which shaped a vision of Chicago's art world as a place of meticulous craftsmanship and vernacular inspiration.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Arthur Lerner</span> American painter

Arthur Lerner is an American artist, known for his atmospheric figurative paintings and drawings, landscapes, and still lifes. He is sometimes described as a realist, but most critics observe that his work is more subjective than descriptive or literal. Associated with Chicago's influential "Monster Roster" artists early in his career, he shared their enthusiasm for expressive figuration, fantasy and mythology, and their existential outlook, but diverged increasingly in his classical formal concerns and more detached temperament. Critics frequently note in Lerner's art a sense of light that evokes Impressionism, delicate color and modelling that "flirts with dematerialization," and the draftsmanship that serves as a foundation for all of his work. The Chicago Tribune's Alan Artner lamented Lerner's comparative lack of recognition in relation to the Chicago Imagists as the fate of "an aesthete in a town dominated by tenpenny fantasts." Lerner's work has been extensively covered in publications, featured in books such as Monster Roster: Existential Art in Postwar Chicago, and acquired by public and private collections, including those of the Smithsonian Institution, Art Institute of Chicago, Smart Museum of Art, and Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, among many.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rodney Carswell</span> American painter

Rodney Carswell is an American abstract artist. He first gained recognition for human-scaled, geometric paintings that feature exposed, projected support structures, creating interplay between sculptural presence and richly painted pictorial surfaces. His recent paintings eschew the superstructures and evoke a greater sense of immediacy, playfulness, and narrative. Critics often describe Carswell's work as uncanny, elusive or quirky, for its tendency to negotiate "in-between" spaces and embrace contradictions such as order and instability, intention and accident, or back and front. Employing irregularly shaped canvasses, thick supports, and openings or holes that reveal the stretcher construction and walls behind them, works like 3 (1994) often occupy a place between painting and sculpture. In a similar way, Carswell uses the modernist languages of Minimalism, Suprematism and Constructivism, yet eludes those categories with postmodern allusions to architecture, the body and spiritual iconography, and with his process-oriented, "hand-made" surfaces. In his essay for Carswell's mid-career retrospective at Chicago's Renaissance Society, Los Angeles Times critic David Pagel suggested that his understated paintings worked their way into one's consciousness in a "supple, somewhat unsettling manner" that achieves a subtle, but lingering shift in perception.

Leopold Segedin is an American artist and educator based in Chicago. He is best known as an urban figurative painter, who portrays humanist scenes of life in mid-20th century Chicago. He has exhibited for over 70 years, including retrospectives at the Chicago Cultural Center, University Club of Chicago, University of Illinois, and Northeastern Illinois University, and major group shows at the Art Institute of Chicago, Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, Illinois State Museum and Des Moines Art Center, among others. His art has received awards from the Art Institute of Chicago, Terry Art Institute, Corcoran Gallery of Art, and American Jewish Arts Club. Segedin was one of Art in America’s 1956 "New Talent in the U.S.A." artists and has been featured in The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Chicago Daily News and Chicago Sun-Times, among many publications. Chicago Tribune critic Alan Artner characterized Segedin's work as a "distinguished example" of magic realism; in visual terms, critics have often noted his vivid color, dynamic illusionist space, and rendering of light and surfaces that betray the passage of time.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Seymour Rosofsky</span> American painter

Seymour Rosofsky (1924–1981) was an American artist, who has been described as one of the key figures in twentieth-century Chicago art. He emerged in the late 1940s at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, one of several G.I. Bill veterans, including Leon Golub, Cosmo Campoli and H. C. Westermann, who would join Don Baum, Dominick Di Meo, June Leaf, and Nancy Spero to form the influential movement later dubbed the "Monster Roster" by critic Franz Schulze, which was a precursor to the more well-known Chicago Imagists. Like others in the group, Rosofsky was drawn to the unsettling, macabre side of Surrealism, initially creating gestural, expressionist renderings of grotesque, existentially angst-ridden figures in isolated or uncomfortable situations, that gave way in the 1960s to more fantastical, observational paintings that examined power, politics and domestic relationships in an unflinching way.

Sharpe has exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA), The Drawing Center, Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art, and Chicago Cultural Center, among many venues. His work has been reviewed in Art in America, ARTnews, Arts Magazine, New Art Examiner, the New York Times, and the Chicago Tribune, and been acquired by public institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, MCA Chicago, Smart Museum of Art, and Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, among many.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Laurie Hogin</span> American painter

Laurie Hogin is an American artist, known for allegorical paintings of mutant animals and plants that rework the tropes and exacting styles of Neoclassical art in order to critique, parody or call attention to contemporary and historical mythologies, systems of power, and human experience and variety. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, International Print Center New York, and Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati. Her work belongs to the art collections of the New York Public Library, MacArthur Foundation, Addison Gallery of American Art, and Illinois State Museum, among others. Critic Donald Kuspit described her work as both painted with "a deceptive, crafty beauty" and "sardonically aggressive" in its use of animal stand-ins to critique humanity; Ann Wiens characterized her "roiling compositions of barely controlled flora and fauna" as "shrewdly employing art historical concepts of beauty for their subversive potential." Hogin is Professor and Chair of the Studio Art Program at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Frank Piatek</span> American artist

Frank Piatek is an American artist, known for abstract, illusionistic paintings of tubular forms and three-dimensional works exploring spirituality, cultural memory and the creative process. Piatek emerged in the mid-1960s, among a group of Chicago artists exploring various types of organic abstraction that shared qualities with the Chicago Imagists; his work, however relies more on suggestion than expressionistic representation. In Art in Chicago 1945-1995, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (MCA) described Piatek as playing “a crucial role in the development and refinement of abstract painting in Chicago" with carefully rendered, biomorphic compositions that illustrate the dialectical relationship between Chicago's idiosyncratic abstract and figurative styles. Piatek's work has been exhibited at institutions including the Whitney Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, MCA Chicago, National Museum, Szczecin in Poland, and Terra Museum of American Art; it belongs to the public art collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and MCA Chicago, among others. Curator Lynne Warren describes Piatek as "the quintessential Chicago artist—a highly individualistic, introspective outsider" who has developed a "unique and deeply felt world view from an artistically isolated vantage point." Piatek lives and works in Chicago with his wife, painter and SAIC professor Judith Geichman, and has taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago since 1974.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Judy Ledgerwood</span> American abstract painter

Judy Ledgerwood is an American abstract painter and educator, who has been based in Chicago. Her work confronts fundamental, historical and contemporary issues in abstract painting within a largely high-modernist vocabulary that she often complicates and subverts. Ledgerwood stages traditionally feminine-coded elements—cosmetic and décor-related colors, references to ornamental and craft traditions—on a scale associated with so-called "heroic" abstraction; critics suggest her work enacts an upending or "domestication" of modernist male authority that opens the tradition to allusions to female sexuality, design, glamour and pop culture. Critic John Yau writes, "In Ledgerwood’s paintings the viewer encounters elements of humor, instances of surprise, celebrations of female sexuality, forms of vulgar tactility, and intense and unpredictable combinations of color. There is nothing formulaic about her approach."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Richard Loving (artist)</span> American visual artist (1924–2021)

Richard Loving (1924–2021) was an American artist and educator, primarily based in Chicago, Illinois. He gained recognition in the 1980s as a member of the "Allusive Abstractionists," an informal group of Chicago painters, whose individual forms of organic abstraction embraced evocative imagery and metaphor, counter to the dominant minimalist mode. He is most known for paintings that critics describe as metaphysical and visionary, which move fluidly between abstraction and representation, personalized symbolism taking organic and geometric forms, and chaos and order. They are often characterized by bright patterns of dotted lines and dashes, enigmatic spatial fields, and an illuminated quality. In 2010, critic James Yood wrote that Loving's work "mull[ed] over the possibilities of pattern and representation, of narrative and allegory" to attain a kind of wisdom, transcendence and acknowledgement of universals, "seeking understanding of self within the poetics of the physical world."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tony Phillips (American artist)</span> American visual artist

Tony Phillips is an American artist and educator based in Chicago whose work has included painting, drawing and film. He is associated with figurative and surrealist currents of Chicago art in the later 20th century, without precisely being identified with such groups as the Imagists or The Hairy Who; critics have suggested that the lack of such affiliations has caused him and similar artists in the city to be comparatively overlooked. His art employs painterly, softly modeled representation that belies sometimes dark psychological explorations and fantastical or archetypal scenarios. Art in America critic Robert Berlind wrote, "Phillips's best pictures, with their particular tension between humor and eeriness, between the familiar and the eccentric, between the fanciful and the obsessive, are like a high-wire act, carried off in dream time."
