ed paschke

Ed Paschke kept - in his Art studio - magazine clippings, posters and advertisements - according to
Debra N. Mancoff - in her book 50 AMERICAN ARTISTS You Should Know.  Ms. Mancoff
also tells us that Ed Paschke also painted 'provocative and often lurid figures.'

She uses - for an illustration in her book - Paschke's Violence ( 1980) - oil on canvas - Whitney
Museum of American Art, New York - which I love - even though it is a little weird.  I googled
Ed Paschke and found an assomrtment of Great Paintings - most of which seemed to me a
little weird - but one in particular that I liked can be found under Ed Paschke Images - the 10th
down on the far right - which looks like Wheels - and can be found in The Koffler Collection
of Chicago Artists.

The Koffler Collection contains 26 paintings, sculptures and works on paper created by Chicago
Artists, including works by Roger Brown, Leon Golub, Theodore Halkin,  Vera Clement, Ed Paschke -
and Others.  Dating from 1960 - 1980, many of the pieces are typical of  the well-known Chicago
taste for figurative art - according to Smithsonian Magazine on google.

I plan to check out the Koffler Collection the very next time I have an opportuntiy to visit the
Windy City.

And I look forward to that - and to seeing firsthand one of Ed Paschke's fine Paintings.

Ed Paschke was born in Chicago in 1939 - and died there on November 25th - in 2004.
