Jim Nutt: Coming Into Character
Jan 29–May 29, 2011

Since 1990, Jim Nutt has focused exclusively on female heads in spare line drawings and rich, detailed paintings. This exhibition is a retrospective of Jim Nutt's work that emphasizes the development of these important paintings through their precedents in his other works. Acknowledging the groundswell of interest in this unique American artist, this is the first major presentation of Nutt in over a decade. Nutt's history as an artist dates to the mid-1960s where he was a chief instigator of Chicago's irreverent "Hairy Who" group, now better known as the imagists.
