A Time and a Place 1969

"A Time and a Place" is a 1969 work by Jim Nutt, a Chicago Imagist artist known for his grotesque, cartoonish figures. The print depicts a large, hairy, and seemingly naked woman with exaggerated features and a small, menacing man wielding a knife. The work’s title and the caption "her pants are dry!" reference the woman's state of undress and suggest a narrative that is both humorous and unsettling, typical of Nutt's style. This black and white print displays the graphic and sometimes disturbing nature of Chicago Imagism, which explored themes of everyday life and the human condition, often with a satirical and humorous twist.
