Art critic Alan Artner goes all the way back to his earliest days at the Tribune for his mea culpa. “When, in 1973, I began writing regularly about visual art for this newspaper, the local crossbreeding of Surrealism and Pop Art known as Imagism was being promoted as the only game in town. [As] a native Chicagoan I resented that any one thing should have been exalted to the exclusion of nearly everything else… But the language in which I wrote about my recoil from Imagism was wrong because it was vehement. And that vehemence came from the mistake of reacting as much to the environment Imagism had caused as to the work itself.”
