Ken Haak was an American artist who worked primarily in painting, drawing, and printmaking. He was born in 1923 and passed away in 1983. Haak is known for his abstract expressionist style, which is characterized by bold colors, gestural brushstrokes, and a sense of movement and energy. Haak studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He also taught at several universities, including the University of Wisconsin and the University of Illinois. Haak's work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows throughout the United States, and his pieces can be found in many public and private collections. Haak was an important figure in the Chicago art scene in the 1950s and 1960s, and he was associated with the "Monster Roster," a group of artists who were known for their unconventional and experimental approach to art-making. Despite his contributions to the art world, Haak's work is not widely recognized today, and he is considered a somewhat overlooked figure in the history of American art.
