The Art Institute of Chicago was FABULOUS! We spent a lot of time here and still didn't see everything. I love to go to art museums because there are so many pieces that you recognize from books, movies, pictures, and even board games. Seeing them in person is something else.
I generally spend the majority of my time with the classics but in this museum I spent quite a bit of time with more modern, contemporary artists. Wilson and I have a poet friend and we thought of him often during our time with the more modern artists. Sometimes I just don't recognize the timeline significance of the various pieces of information and knowledge that I have. It wasn't until I looked at some of the more modern pieces that I thought or realized that our friend may actually know or have known some of these artists....Ron?????
I took a lot of pictures and will post a lot as well....brief explanations or links to the pieces themselves will be included:
Renoir - Two Sisters (On the Terrace) Hopper - Nighthawks
Van Gogh - Self Portrait Spring 1887
Picasso - Nude under a Pine Tree Jackson Pollock - Greyed Rainbow
