...commercial representation; it takes in artists like Alex Katz and Larry Rivers, makes a bow to de Kooning's women, and then sets up some large-scale American realist art from the '70s, contrasted with the perverse and gritty fantasies of Chicago School artists like Jim Nutt and Ed Paschke. From there, it goes to the various neo-and pseudoexpressionist variants that fill the galleries today. It is a weak anthology with some good art in it; in terms of coherent art history, it is a shambles. The curator, Barbara Haskell, has neither thought her subject through...
Ever since 1878, when one Stella Nutt and her sister Emma invaded what had been an exclusively male profession, the Bell System's telephone operators have been almost all women, while its higher-paid skilled jobs have nearly all been held by men. The situation has long outraged feminists, and last January they won what seemed a significant victory: their complaint to the Government's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission forced American Telephone & Telegraph Co. to sign a consent decree under which it agreed to throw open every job in the system to both sexes.* Nine months later, that...
CHLOE IN THE AFTERNOON is the last of Rohmer's six moral tales, and the fourth to be distributed in the U.S. (La Collectioneuse, 1967, Ma Nutt Chez Maud, 1969, Claire's Knee, 1970).

In each tale the character resists the temptations of the flesh in the name of moral principle. Rohmer insists that his films are not moral lessons but reflections upon morality.

"Chicago has long been a wholesale supplier of talent to New York," writes Art Critic Franz Schulze, in a briskly readable introduction to the group, entitled "Fantastic Images: Chicago Art Since 1945." He continues...
Perversity. With two other painters, Edward Paschke and Jim Nutt, this imagery of possession enters a horrific level of sour humor. Nutt is the more playful. His drawing appears to derive equally from Dick Tracy strips (the thin, grotesque, saber-edged line) and back-of-the-comic ads for hemorrhoid cures. The result is a mildly purgative vulgarity, harsh and sexy and comic all at once-a visual equivalent to the kind of sub-Burroughs imagery one gets in some Rolling Stones lyrics. Says Nutt: "I don't know what you mean by 'vulgar.' My women...
