John Wilde

One of the most influential artists from Wisconsin, John Wilde (1919-2006) was a quiet leader in the contemporary art world. As a leader in the American surrealist movement known as Magic Realism, John Wilde stands out with his wonderful representation of Midwestern oddness and Renaissance perfectionism. (Scroll down for images)

Over 100 paintings and drawings by the artist are included in the collections of numerous museums including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chasen Museum of Art in Madison, WI, Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Museum of American Art, Minneapolis’ Walker Art Center, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. In addition, more than 1,400 of his works are held in private collections.
