False Image Decal
This is one of a group of decals made for the second False Image group exhibition at the Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago, November 21-December 20, 1969. They are based on original drawings made for the purpose by the four artists, for which stencils were cut by Roger Brown and then transferred to screens for screen printing by the Chicago Decal Company.
The four artists listed are part of a loosely-associated group working in Chicago and known as the Imagists. These artists and their raucous, vibrant work emerged to local and national attention through a series of exhibitions held at the Hyde Park Art Center from 1966 through 1971. The exhibitions were announced by artist-designed posters and often were accompanied by inventive art and ephemera such as the decals shown here.
