Got to see works from one of my personal heros #FridaKhalo today at the #ArtInstituteChicago and as a bonus got to see an actual handwritten letter she wrote in 1939 in her own penmanship. Moving! Not Fragile like a flower fragile like a bomb. Bonus that Man Ray had a photo in the exhibit.

Bell Jar ftw

And did those sneaky corridor artificial flowers think they could hide from ME?!

#artinstitutechicago #ThorneRooms #Victorian
Victorian parlor with an artificial flowers bell jar and a portrait of Queen Victoria. Door with a shadowed chair in front and a glimpse of more flowers and a framed landscape print above. A closer view of the artificial flowers through the door.

#artinstitutechicago is possibly my favorite museum in the world. When I was there about a year and a half ago, I was moved by the power of this piece.

Looking up at an interior balcony in the Art Institute of Chicago. A statue stands at the balcony off center left. Columns flank each side of the balcony and a dramatic arch swoops overhead with a single orb light hanging from the apex

Nighthawks, Edward Hopper (1942)

Still doing Mario Paint recreations of famous work. I'm loving this. I always forget how cool it is to render a background through glass.

AIC - Ancient Egypt
Carved granite head of an official.

#ancientegypt #statue #bust #head #egyptianofficial #artinstitutechicago #funerarystatue #egyptianman
Head of an Official Date: Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 13 (about 1773–1650 BCE) Artist: Egyptian ABOUT THIS ARTWORK This head of an official, with his striped wig tucked behind his ears, comes from a larger statue that was likely once displayed in a tomb chapel. Such sculptures served as receptacles for the ka (soul). To animate statues, priests performed a ceremony called the Opening of the Mouth so that the individual represented could benefit from offerings left by the living and breathe, eat, hear, and see in the afterlife. Although this man’s name, which would have been written on the statue, is now lost, the sculpture’s large scale and the choice to carve it from costly granite suggest that he was a high-ranking official.
