DESCRIPTION:“Monet had his water lilies\,” writes Frank Gaard\, “and
  I have my panties.” Known for his brash personality and his idiosyncrat
 ic art practice\, the Minneapolis-based painter has made an indelible mark
  on the local visual arts community over the past four decades. Using a vi
 brant\, sometimes acrid palette\, Gaard offers up satire through imagery d
 erived from his emotional life\, intellectual and political obsessions\, a
 nd relationships\, skewering pop culture excesses as well as academic and 
 art world elitism. A large canvas from 1990\, Satanic Housekeeping\, asks 
 “Would you like to talk dirty with me?”—scrambling French critical t
 heory\, Pop art\, drugs\, assemblage\, and portraiture into an inviting\, 
 free-associative provocation.\n\nThis survey of more than 100 works featur
 es portraits of friends\, family\, and fellow artists from the mid-1980s t
 o the present\; a suite of new paintings with a recurring pony motif\; and
  illustrations from Artpolice\, the cult zine Gaard published from 1974 to
  1994. The Walker began collecting Gaard’s work in the mid-’70s and pr
 esented Viewpoints—Frank Gaard: Paintings in 1980. \n\nCurator: Betsy Ca
