by Tom Torluemke (Artist), Dan Cameron (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), David Detmer (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

In the tradition of great American satirists, Torluemke's works on paper show an unflinching, lampooning perspective of society's ills

Tom Torluemke's (born 1959) name is familiar to Chicago art lovers thanks to his detailed acrylic paintings observing society's ills with the doting attention of a diehard humanist. Live! highlights his understudied works on paper, capturing 40 years of Torluemke's freewheeling imagination and technical skill.
