Our last full day in Chicago included yet another visit to the AIC...

Just a minute detail from Raqib Shaw's monumental Paradise Lost;

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

sculpture at Daley Plaza

A model thereof

the US Bicentennial

century French artist who specialized in paintings of Roman

ruins, both in France and Italy

David, Madame de Pastoret and Her Son, 1791-92;
