DOB

Is the date of birth, 23 October 1937, correct? [1] and [2] says 22 October 1939. --83.227.2.49 12:22, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So does [3] (which is pretty reliable when it comes to birthdates and things. I've changed the date in the article accordingly. Qwghlm 13:50, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

George Cohen (artist [imagist])

The Chicago Imagists is the name of a group of representational artists associated with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago who exhibited at the Hyde Park Art Center in the late 1960s. Their work was known for grotesquerie, surrealism, and complete uninvolvement with New York art world trends. One remarkable thing about them was the high proportion of female artists among them.

There are three distinct groups which outside of Chicago are indiscriminately bundled together as Imagists: The Monster Roster, the Hairy Who, and the Chicago Imagists.

[edit] The Monster Roster The Monster Roster was a group of Chicago artists, several of whom served in World War II and were able to go to art school thanks to the G.I. Bill. They were given their name in 1959 by critic Franz Schulze, based on their existential, sometimes gruesome, semi-mystical figurative work. The Monster Roster included:

Don Baum Carlo Campoli George Cohen Dominic Di Meo Leon Golub Theodore Halkin June Leaf Seymour Rosofsky Nancy Spero H. C. Westermann Karl Wirsum

[edit] The Hairy Who The Hairy Who were a subgroup of the Imagists (see below). Don Baum curated three "Hairy Who" exhibitions at the Hyde Park Art Center in 1966, 1967, and 1968. The name is meant to sound like a rock group. The Hairy Who included:

Don Baum James Falconer Art Green Gladys Nilsson Jim Nutt Suellen Rocca Karl Wirsum.

[edit] The Chicago Imagists The Imagists were not a formal group, but rather a description of artists involved in shows curated by Don Baum in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. In addition to the Hairy Who, above, they included:

Roger Brown Eleanor Dube Phil Hanson Ed Paschke Christina Ramberg Barbara Rossi

[edit] Artists Who Are Not Imagists Outside of Chicago, any Chicago artist whose work is figurative and quirky is often called an Imagist. Chicago artists who paint strange and figurative works, but are not Imagists, include:

Robert Lostutter Hollis Sigler Eleanor Spiess-Ferris

Jewish?

Is he really Jewish? Because his nephew, Ben Cohen isn't Jewish, neither are his family (at least for some generations), so probably George isn't Jewish. --Ario ManUtd (talk) 04:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC) 30 October 2008 11:12 UTC[reply]

He is. He stated it a few times and his surname Cohen is Jewish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.115.202 (talk) 22:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good Player?

Was he really a good player who deserved the 1966 win? Imadethis123 (talk) 10:20, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't say he did, it merely notes that the BBC's obituary of him said so. It's not for Wikipedia to take a view. Alarics (talk) 20:04, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
