"Ed Paschke: Visionary from Chicago, is the third in the Ashmolean's series of exhibitions of post-war and contemporary art presented in collaboration with the Hall Art Foundation... Although a major, if not a legendary figure, in his native Chicago, for many people in this country this exhibition will provide their first encoutner with Paschke's bold and confrontational vision. Paschke's striking paintings with their melding of Pop and Surrealist sensibilities, their electric colours and disturbing imagery tredad an interesting and powerful line between attracting and repelling.... Sir Norman Rosenthal, our Hall Art Foundation curator of Contemporary Art... has curated this show."--Page 7.
