Pizza Rat!

 
My New York cousin seems to need some help, but what a find!

Chicago - Art & More Art? - Part 3

This couple in Grant Wood's American Gothic don't seem very happy.

The people seem really lonely in Edward Hopper's Nighthawks.

I wonder if she is talking to her boyfriend.

Oooh. I what happened to this cow?

I like the color in this Jasper Johns, but it seems like he did not know his colors very well.

This Jackson Pollock reminds me of aluminum foil.

This is really groovy!

It's a Calder mobile. I like watching it slowly move around. It's hypnotic!

This is really beautiful stenciling from the Chicago Stock Exchange designed by Adler and Sullivan.

Here is a teller's wicket from a bank Louis Sullivan designed. Why is it here when the bank still exists in Minnesota?

This odd sculpture is part of the Imperial Hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Japan. Unfortunately, like the Chicago Stock Exchange, most of the building no longer exists.

Here is a window Frank Lloyd Wright designed for a small school. It represents a parade from a child's perspective. Can you see the round circles? They represent balloons. The small squares represent confetti and the larger blue rectangles with the red stripes represent American flags. The just made an announcement that the museum is going to be closing for the day. Guess I need to run!

Chicago - Art & More Art? - Part 2

Now this is art. This guy Rembrandt could paint!

The Greek must have had a lot of basketball players as friends. These guys are really tall.

Wow, what an architectural ruin!

This little painting looks familiar.

Here is the similar one I was looking for! One of Ferris's and Cameron's (and my) favorites, George Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte

Tahiti looks like a wonderful and colorful place!

This bedroom looks a bit like a fun house.

Here's a self portrait of the artist painted a couple years before the little ear episode.

One of Cezanne's still lifes. Looks like the fruit is rolling all over the place.

Renoir's circus girls are helping to pick them up.

I like the sense of movement in Degas's painting of these ballerinas.

Oooh Monet! Great atmosphere!

Pretty water lilies!

How do you find so much color in a stack of wheat?

Wait! Didn't I just see this painting?

They seem to be multiplying!

Talk about color!

Chagall's glass window has even more intense color!

Chicago - Art & More Art? - Part 1

Next stop --the Art Institute, the AIC for those in the know. Kids Free! Hopefully rat kids too.

Lions guarding museums are so snooty.

Another lion! This one is from India.

Now this is an odd looking cow!

Interesting sculpture. I heard it was by Calder.

Here is an even more interesting sculpture.

Who wraps their dog in aluminum foil and calls it art?

Who wraps their trash in aluminum foil and calls it art!?

Seems like a lot of wasted space. Where are my roller skates?

I need a breather from all that "art"!

A view of Millennium Park.
