scenes (in frames) from the Art Institute of Chicago

From our recent visit to the Art Institute of Chicago. I thought I'd share some of my favourites from the 3rd floor of the new wing.

(Left) Lyonel Feininger, 1871-1956
Carnival in Arcueil, 1911.

I love the colours and the motion... the surreal vista, with the aquaduct and curious yellow row homes... What a fun scene.

right: Mrs. Elvis admiring a colourful painting. She's very bit as much of a piece of art, as

the canvas she's viewing.

Pierre Bonnard
1867-1947

Earthly Paradise, 1916-1920

Muted pastels, sleepy, dreamy... unabashed nakedness, ahh... such is the life...

Henri Matisse
1869 - 1954

Interior at Nice 1919

A little snapshot in the time of a life... no?

Henri Matisse
1869 - 1954

Seated Nude 1925-1929

Strong, impactful... beautiful...

Y'all know this one.

Pablo Picasso
1881 - 1973

Mother and Child 1921

It really is different seeing it in person.
