Our last full day in Chicago included yet another visit to the AIC...
 |
Just a minute detail from Raqib Shaw's monumental Paradise Lost;
next time |
 |
Not the best angle...Nick Cave's Untitled comment
on Black labor in the US |
 |
| Roman head-gear; somehow reminded us of Disney World |
 |
A model after Alexander Calder's Flamingo sculpture,
which adorns a federal building in Chicago |
 |
Picasso's preparatory sketch for the "Chicago Picasso"
sculpture at Daley Plaza |
 |
| A model thereof |
 |
Chagall's America Windows, a gift to the AIC on the occasion of
the US Bicentennial |
 |
| Interior of the old Chicago Stock Exchange |
 |
The AIC has several works by Hubert Robert, a late 18th century French artist who specialized in paintings of Roman ruins, both in France and Italy |
 |
David, Madame de Pastoret and Her Son, 1791-92;
unfinished because they had a falling out...she, a royalist,
he, not so much; a precursor to Madame Recamier... |
 |
| Never miss a Vernet...Morning, 1760 |
 |
| Hals, Portrait of a Lady, 1627 |
 |
Rembrandt, Give Me a Little Head, 1632; aka Man with
a Golden Chain |

 |
Veronese workshop, St. Jerome in the Wilderness, 1590; I am collecting
Jerome paintings for my forthcoming biography of Rene Ssance |
 |
Theotokopoulos, Jesus Taking Leave of His Mother,
1590; also something about sleight of hand tricks for
the disciples |
 |
We finished with an exhibition of sculptures by
