My son Will is taking an Art Appreciation class this semester. One of the course requirements is to visit an art museum, so today Will and I took the train to Chicago to visit the Art Institute. It was a good time. | |

|
![]() Seurat's Sunday in the park |
|
![]() Gustave Caillebotte's Paris Street, A Rainy Day (one of my favorites). |
|
![]() Bartolomeo Manfredi's Cupid Chastised. Will is a self-taught authority on mythology: he will probably write his report on this painting. |
|
![]() Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. (I like this one a lot, but my favorite Hopper is Summer Evening which I think is so full of passion. But it's not at the Art Institute.) |
