I was actually surprised how many famous works the Art Institute had . . . their collection of French Impressionists was amazing . . .
I love Renoir
One of my favorites
Another great - love the guy in the red shirt and kasket smoking his pipe! Seurat's pointillism always fascinated me as a child.
Not my favorite - but a famous one.
Brilliant!
Monet tops them all off as my favorite - the fact that he pained series of paintings makes it all the more enjoyable!
Some of my own art

Love Nighthawks
Did you ever notice that the folds of his overalls and shirt look like the pitchfork?

I am of course, obscenely jealous. Most of these I've only seen in textbooks or prints.
Have they reopened the modern art wing yet? I was so bummed to not find the full Joseph Cornell collection the past few times I've been. When I lived in Chicago I went so many times. Degas is one of my favorites :)
Thank you so much for these. I too love Nighthawks.

Nice, did you check out the miniature houses on the lower level? That part I liked a lot dude. We went there during sheva brochos.
