Yesterday was a full day, and the soles of my feet can testify to that this morning. The Art Institute was a flurry of people. Did you know you can take photographs of any permanent exhibit in the Museum so long as you don't use a flash? Pretty cool. So, as part of your 10 cent tour of the AI in Chicago, 100 points to the person who can name the artists in the following 6 snap shots. Double points if you can actually name the piece.
And, to wrap up our "mini week" here at But A Shadow, I give you the mini art institute modern wing:
6 comments:
1. Chagall
2. Monet waterlillies variation?
3. Cassatt?
4. George Seurat "Sunday Afternoon in the Park"
5. Van Gogh
6. Toulese Latreac
So close!
Try again on 1,3 and 5 (hint: you already guessed one them - he's in here twice!)
1. Frank Lloyd Wright
3. Renoir
5. Monet
Almost!
I'll just give it to you...
#3 is Gustave Caillebotte "Paris Street: Rainy Day"
Thanks for humoring me and playing along :)
oh how I miss Chicago's Art Institute! Do they still have those days where you can pay "anything" to get in? Keith and I would wander around after using our pocket change to get in :) I think one of the things I like best about the AI is that the building is almost as interesting as the artwork... I'll have to check out the new wing... next time I make it out there!
L: Unfortunately, no. I remember those days as well, but no longer. In fact prices are going up in June to 18! But Thursday evenings from 5-8 are free. So I guess that's when I'll be going!
