Introduction

The Art Institute of Chicago (opens new window)'s API provides JSON-formatted data as a REST-style service that allows developers to explore and integrate the museum’s public data into their projects. This API is the same tool that powers our website (opens new window), our mobile app (opens new window), and many other technologies in the museum.

If the application you're building will be public, please send it our way! We'd love to share it alongside some of the other projects that use our API (opens new window). And if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us: engineering@artic.edu.

Quick Start

An API (opens new window) is a structured way that one software application can talk to another. APIs power much of the software we use today, from the apps on our phones and watches to technology we see in sports and TV shows. We have built an API to let people like you easily get our data in an ongoing way.

TIP

Do you want all of our data? Are you running into problems with throttling or deep pagination? Consider using our data dumps instead of our API.

For example, you can access the /artworks listing endpoint in our API by visiting the following URL to see all the published artworks in our collection:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks

If you want to see data for just one artwork, you can use the /artworks/{id} detail endpoint. For example, here's Starry Night and the Astronauts (opens new window) by Alma Thomas:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/129884

When you view these URLs in your browser, you might see a jumbled bunch of text. That's OK! If you're using Chrome, install the JSON Formatter extension (opens new window), hit reload, and the results will be formatted in a way humans can read, too.

There is a lot of data you'll get for each artwork. If you want to only retrieve a certain set of fields, change the fields parameter in the query to list which ones you want, like this:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?fields=id,title,artist_display,date_display,main_reference_number

TIP

The fields parameter expects either an array of field names, or a comma-separated list of field names in a single string (e.g. example above). We encourage you to use it because it makes your queries run faster and lets us track which fields need continued support.

You can paginate through results using page and limit params:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?page=2&limit=100

If you want to search and filter the results, you can do so via our search endpoints. For example, here is a full-text search (opens new window) for all artworks whose metadata contains some mention of cats:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?q=cats

Here is the same search, but filtered to only show artworks that are in the public domain:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?q=cats&query[term][is_public_domain]=true

Behind the scenes, our search is powered by Elasticsearch (opens new window). You can use its Query DSL (opens new window) to interact with our API. The example above uses a term (opens new window) query. Other queries we use often include exists (opens new window) and bool (opens new window). Aggregations (opens new window) are also a powerful tool.

Our API accepts queries through both GET and POST. It might be easier to visualize how the GET query above is structured by comparing it to its POST equivallent:

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "q": "cats",
    "query": {
        "term": {
            "is_public_domain": true
        }
    }
}'

For production use, we recommend using GET and passing the entire query as minified URL-encoded JSON via the params parameter. For example:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?params=%7B%22q%22%3A%22cats%22%2C%22query%22%3A%7B%22term%22%3A%7B%22is_public_domain%22%3Atrue%7D%7D%7D

WARNING

Our API is flexible in how it accepts queries, but each method of querying is meant for a specific purpose. Use GET for simple queries, and use POST when you have complex payloads to submit with your query.

There's a lot of information you can get about our collection, and there's a lot more than artworks in our API. Explore our documentation to learn more!

Conventions

• We refer to models in our API as "resources" (e.g. artworks, artists, places)

• Resources are typically accessed via their endpoints. Each resource has three endpoints:

  • Listing (e.g. /artworks)
  • Detail (e.g. /artworks/{id})
  • Search (e.g. /artworks/search) (optional)

  Some resources might lack a search endpoint if there appears to be no need for it yet.

• Multi-word endpoints are hyphenated (e.g. /tour-stop).

• All field names are lowercase and snake case (underscore case).

• Every resource in the API has id and title fields.

• Fields that contain a single id reference to another resource are singular and end with _id:

  "artist_id": 51349,
  

• Fields that contain id references to multiple records from another resource are singular and end with _ids:

  "style_ids": ["TM-4439", "TM-8542", "TM-4441"],
  

• Fields that contain title references to records from other resources follow naming conventions similar to id-based fields:

  "artist_title": "Ancient Roman",
  "classification_titles": ["modern and contemporary art", "painting"],
  

• Every title-based field has a keyword subfield in Elasticsearch, which is meant for filters and aggregations. See "New defaults" section in this article (opens new window) for more info.

• Numeric and boolean fields get parsed into actual numbers and booleans:

  "artwork_id": "45", // BAD
  "date_start": 1942, // GOOD
  
  "is_preferred": "True", // BAD
  "is_in_gallery": true, // GOOD
  

• We never show any empty strings in the API. We only show null:

  "date_display": "", // BAD
  "artist_display": null, // GOOD
  

• We prefer to always show all fields, even if they are null for the current record:

  • If a field that typically returns a string, number, or object is empty for a given record, we return it as null, rather than omitting it.

  • If a field typically returns an array, we prefer to return an empty array, rather than returning null. This is done in part for backwards-compatibility reasons.

Best Practices

Here are some tips that will make your application run faster and/or reduce load on our systems:

• Cache API responses in your system when possible.

• Use the fields parameter to tell us exactly what fields you need.

• Batch detail queries with the multi-id parameter (?ids=).

• Batch search queries with multi-search (/msearch).

• When downloading images, use /full/843,/0/default.jpg parameters.

• When scraping, please use a single thread and self-throttle.

• Consider using data dumps instead of scraping our API.

Data Dumps

You can download a dump that contains all of our public data here:

https://github.com/art-institute-of-chicago/api-data (opens new window)

These data dumps are updated nightly. They are generated from our API. As such, they contain the same data as our API, and their schema mirrors that of the API. The data is dumped in JSON format, with one JSON file per record. Records are grouped by API resource type.

Our intention with this approach is to make it easier to adapt code to draw from the data dumps instead of the API, and vice-versa. Since the schema is the same, switching between the two should be relatively straight-forward.

If you notice schema discrepancies between the data dumps and the API, or if you need help with using our data dumps, please open an issue (opens new window) in the api-data repo.

Data Dumps vs. API?

We recommend using the data dumps for scenarios such as the following:

• You want to have a full copy of our data for archival purposes.
• You want to scrape a large result set (>10,000 records).
• You want to analyze or enhance our data.

Use our API if the following fits your use case:

• You want to integrate our data into a website or application.
• You need real-time access to our data.

Scraping Data

Generally, we ask that you avoid extensive scraping of our API. The API is meant for direct integration into websites and applications. The data dumps are meant for backups and analysis. Scraping our API puts undue stress on our systems. Instead of scraping, please download the data dumps and filter them locally to obtain the data you need.

That said, we don't mind small-scale scraping of our API. It can be convenient to use our search endpoint to filter records and retrieve only the fields you need. You can even use the aggregation functionality of our search endpoints to run some simple analyses. Just remember that you cannot paginate beyond 10,000 results in our search endpoints (see Pagination).

If you do decide to scrape our resources, please throttle your requests to no more than one per second and avoid running multiple scrapers in parallel.

Images

This API does not contain image files. However, it does contain all of the data you need to access our images. Our institution serves images via a separate API that is compliant with the IIIF Image API 2.0 (opens new window) specification. Using metadata from this API, you can craft URLs that will allow you to access images of artworks from our collection.

The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) (opens new window) stewards a set of open standards that enables rich access to digital media from libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural institutions around the world. In practical terms, they define several API specifications that enable interoperability. When a tool is built to be IIIF-compliant, it's easier to adapt it to consume images from any number of institutions that offer IIIF-compliant APIs.

IIIF Image API

We deliver our images via the IIIF Image API 2.0 (opens new window). Our IIIF URLs have the following structure:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/{region}/{size}/{rotation}/{quality}.{format}

We recommend the following URL structure for most use-cases:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/843,/0/default.jpg

Let's jump right into an example. Here's how you can construct IIIF URLs:

1. Retrieve one or more artworks with image_id fields. Here are a few ways of doing so:

   # La Grande Jatte
   https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/27992?fields=id,title,image_id
   
   # La Grande Jatte and The Bedroom
   https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?ids=27992,28560&fields=id,title,image_id
   
   # Top two public domain artworks
   https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?query[term][is_public_domain]=true&limit=2&fields=id,title,image_id
   

   Let's go with the first one, La Grande Jatte (opens new window). Your response will look something like this:

   {
       "data": {
           "id": 27992,
           "title": "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte — 1884",
           "image_id": "2d484387-2509-5e8e-2c43-22f9981972eb"
       },
       "config": {
           "iiif_url": "https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2",
       }
   }
   

2. Find the base IIIF Image API endpoint in the config.iiif_url field:

   https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2
   

   We recommend that you avoid hardcoding this value into your applications.

3. Append the image_id of the artwork as a segment to this URL:

   https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/2d484387-2509-5e8e-2c43-22f9981972eb
   

4. Append /full/843,/0/default.jpg to the URL:

   https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/2d484387-2509-5e8e-2c43-22f9981972eb/full/843,/0/default.jpg
   

That's it! This is a valid IIIF URL. It will return the same image as we use on our website:

Some artworks also have alt_image_ids, such as the Coronation Stone of Motecuhzoma II (opens new window):

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/75644?fields=id,title,image_id,alt_image_ids

Exhibitions have images, too:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/exhibitions/4568?fields=id,title,image_id,alt_image_ids

Image Sizes

The IIIF Image API 2.0 (opens new window) has a lot of options. However, we prefer to use it conservatively. As mentioned above, here's the URL pattern we use for most projects:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/843,/0/default.jpg

We recommend using /full/843,/0/default.jpg because this is the most common size used by our website, so there's a good chance that the image has previously been requested and cached. If you use this pattern in your projects, it will make images load faster in your application and decrease load on our systems.

TIP

We don't mind if you hotlink to our images. Our images support CORS with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * headers—same as our API responses! However, please be aware that any image can get unpublished or replaced at any time.

If you'd like to display the full image at smaller sizes, we recommend the following size increments, as these are likely to give you a cache hit as well:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/200,/0/default.jpg
https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/400,/0/default.jpg
https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/600,/0/default.jpg
https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/843,/0/default.jpg

If you are accessing public domain images, you may also use the following pattern for larger images:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/1686,/0/default.jpg

However, we still recommend using 843 instead unless there's a clear need for 1686.

Why the strange number—843px wide? This number is related to certain guidelines for the use of copyrighted materials (opens new window) within the museum field. Over time, it became the most common dimension used by our applications, so it is the size we continue to recommend.

IIIF Manifests

We also offer IIIF Manifests for all of our public domain artworks. A manifest is a resource defined by the IIIF Presentation API (opens new window). Each manifest contains artwork metadata—such as title, artist name, and copyright info—alongside a list of images associated with that artwork.

You can access the manifest by appending /manifest.json after the identifier in an artwork detail endpoint. For example, here is the manifest for The Great Wave (opens new window):

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/24645/manifest.json

These IIIF manifests do not contain any data that cannot be found elsewhere in our API. But because they follow a standardized API, they can be used with IIIF-compliant tools, such as Mirador (opens new window). For a fun example, try pasting the URL above into the Getty's Animal Crossing Art Generator (opens new window)—and scroll up to see the result!

Image Dumps

Unfortunately, we cannot offer image dumps at this time. We are exploring that possibility.

For now, you may scrape images from our IIIF Image API. We ask that you please follow our guidelines for scraping images if you decide to do so.

Scraping Images

Generally, we prefer that you hotlink to our images, rather than scraping them. Scraping images can put unnecessary strain on our systems. That said, we understand that many use-cases require images to be stored locally.

If you'd like to scrape images from our IIIF API, please follow these guidelines:

• Scrape one image at a time—do not use multiple threads or processes!
• Consider adding a delay of 1 second between each image download
• Use the following URL pattern to download our most common image size:

  https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/843,/0/default.jpg
  

Copyright

For information about copyright, please see the Image Licensing (opens new window) and Terms (opens new window) pages on our website. We defer to those resources in all legal respects.

From a developer's perspective, we recommend only using images from artworks that are tagged as public domain. When querying for artworks, you can filter by public domain status like so:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?query[term][is_public_domain]=true&limit=0

To get the full list of artworks that are in the public domain, you will need to download our data dumps and perform the filtering locally.

Please note that you may encounter images that are not public domain via our IIIF Image API. It is up to you to determine whether or not you are allowed to use these images for your use-case and to obtain any necessary permissions.

General Information

Authentication

You may access our API without authentication. Anonymous users are throttled to 60 requests per minute. (Each IP counts as a separate user.) If you are working on an application that needs to exceed this restriction, please get in touch with us at engineering@artic.edu.

Please use HTTPS (opens new window) to access our API. To support legacy applications, our API is currently accessible via both HTTP and HTTPS, but HTTP access will be removed in the future.

Lastly, consider adding a AIC-User-Agent header with the name of your project and a contact email to your API requests. For example:

curl 'https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/24645' \
--header 'AIC-User-Agent: aic-bash (engineering@artic.edu)'

We ask that you do so as a matter of courtesy (opens new window). If we see an application using a disproportionate amount of system resources, this gives us an avenue to reach out and work with you to optimize your queries.

TIP

Why AIC-User-Agent? Because modifying the User-Agent header is forbidden by some browsers (opens new window). We are using the AIC- namespace to reduce potential conflicts with other applications (RFC 6648 (opens new window)).

Pagination

Listing and search endpoints are paginated. We show 12 records per page by default. Pagination can be controlled via the following query parameters:

• page to request a specific page of results (1-based, default: 1)
• limit to set how many records each page should return (0-based, default: 12)

Example: https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artists?page=2&limit=10 (opens new window)

For performance reasons, limit cannot exceed 100. Additionally, you cannot request more than 10,000 records from a single search query through any combination of limit and page. For example:

• Success: https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artists/search?limit=100&page=100 (opens new window)
• Error: https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artists/search?limit=100&page=101 (opens new window)

Generally, we ask that you avoid scraping our API. If you want to filter and scrape our search results, but the number of results is greater than 10,000, you won't be able to scrape them fully. Instead, we recommend that you download our data dumps and perform your filtering locally.

Occasionally, it might be useful to check the total number of results without retrieving any data. Our API supports this by allowing you to make a request with limit=0. For example, check pagination.total of this query to see the number of public domain artworks in our API:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?query[term][is_public_domain]=true&limit=0 (opens new window)

All paginated endpoints include a pagination block in their responses:

{
    "pagination": {
        "total": 112773,
        "limit": 12,
        "offset": 24,  // 0-based
        "current_page": 3, // 1-based
        "total_pages": 9398,
        "prev_url": "https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?page=2&limit=12",
        "next_url": "https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?page=4&limit=12"

I'm Andrew.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>And I'm Melissa.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>And we're so excited that you decided to check out the multi-sensory gallery at the Art Institute.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>And that you're listening to the audio tour.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>Melissa, that word multisensory is kind of a mouthful. What does it mean?</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>Well, we know about the human senses. You know, sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell. Most of the time we're using them in combinations. Hearing and touching at the same time, for instance. That's multi-sensory. And artworks are something where we use all of our senses to take them in.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>Wait hold on. Last time I checked, we weren't supposed to touch things at the museum, let alone taste or smell them.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>You're right about that. We shouldn't touch things, and we definitely shouldn't taste anything in the galleries because it'll damage the works of art. But here in the multi-sensory gallery, we've got really cool things that you can touch and tap to see how they might feel and sound. And you can imagine how they might taste and smell too.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>You know, artists also use their senses when they're creating works of art, choosing a block of wood for carving or feeling the heat of a super hot furnace for melting metal, turning greasy wool into yarn, or digging into a block of marble. That's all really physical work that requires a lot of coordination between the mind and the body.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>That's right. And we're going to meet four artists and hear about how they use their materials and their tools to create the works that are hanging in this gallery.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>You can, of course, listen as you look, but we also encourage you to run your hand over the surface of each of the works of art as you hear how they were made.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>We'll let you know where you can find other works of art made out of these materials in the museums galleries. But remember, this is the only place we're allowed to touch. The two of us will be in so much trouble if everyone starts touching things out there.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>Yeah, no touching and definitely no licking.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>Yeah. Andrew, I really don't think that's on anyone's mind.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>I know. I just, you know, need to remind myself sometimes. All right. I think that about covers it. Get your senses ready and we'll see what the first artwork.</p>\n",

And in Urhobo culture, it's a representation of maternity and women and the role they play in society.</p>\n<p>Perkins Foss</p>\n<p>She is a figure known as Edjo and she would be one of a group of individuals carved. And of course, that would be in a shrine that is commemorating, some would say, founding heroes, the founding family that settled an Urhobo community. Hi, I'm Perkins Foss and I am a retired associate professor of the history of art at Penn State University. Her stature as a senior titled individual is the ring, I guess we could say of... it's beads. It goes from shoulder, it continues down to her breast and up the other side. She's got a coiffure, only fragments of which are still left. That is a number of vertical tufts that would be tied off in such a way that it's almost, in a European sense, crown-like.</p>\n<p>Janet Purdy</p>\n<p>One of the important things to look at this is that the representation of the jewelry is showing different fashions of different times, and so these kind of figures would differ across different regions in the Niger delta. They would, over time, their adornment would change, and while we can't really see this woman's hairstyle, it would've been a very fashionable, really elaborate hairstyle represented at the time that this was carved.</p>\n<p>One of my favorite quotes is from a prolific Urhobo artist. His name is Bruce Onobrakpeya, and he's one of the biggest print makers in all of Africa, not just West Africa. And one of the things that he says about Urhobo art in general is, his quote is that &quot;art itself is the reflection of the life of people&quot;, and he's trying to carry that forward in whatever art form. He makes prints, but his father was a carver, so he's trying to make sure that whatever art forms that Urhobo people continue to create, that they reflect their life and culture and spirituality.</p>\n",

        "transcript": "<p>VICTORIA SANCHO LOBIS:  Portrait prints had been made since the beginning of the history of the print.  But they typically were used to represent political figures or scholars.</p>\n<p>NARRATOR: Until Van Dyck\u2019 created the Iconography. In this series of prints he not only included political leaders and other renowned citizens, but artists as well, signaling their growing importance in 17th century European society. The Art Institute is fortunate to own all of Van Dyck\u2019s etchings for this project, and they are exhibited here for the first time in almost a century.</p>\n<p>The artist began the series by casually creating 15 portraits, expecting that expert printmakers would finish his plates. He could hardly have anticipated the interest these \u2018unfinished\u2019 prints would generate.</p>\n<p>In this portrait of artist Justus Sustermans, Van Dyck paid great attention to detail in his sitter\u2019s face.</p>\n<p>VICTORIA SANCHO LOBIS: And then from there, the description of the sitter becomes increasingly abstract. And we eventually get to the painter\u2019s right hand, which is drawn in with just the most preliminary and rudimentary lines, sort of square-shaped fingertips, and no shading whatsoever.</p>\n<p>NARRATOR: This contrast between detailed depiction and imaginative abstraction is precisely what caught a collector\u2019s eye and what still seems so modern about Van Dyck\u2019s etchings today. Van Dyck\u2019s self-portrait is probably the first unfinished print ever to have been produced in an edition.</p>\n<p>VICTORIA SANCHO LOBIS: Like most of the etchings that Van Dyck made, this print shows the effects of an imperfectly polished copper plate. So we see scratches, particularly in the upper register. There\u2019s various other passages where a more conscientious printmaker would have taken pains to remove blemishes or imperfections. But these seemed not to bother Van Dyck very much, nor did it bother some of the early collectors.</p>\n<p>NARRATOR: Those collectors immediately embraced van Dyck\u2019s revolutionary portraiture, eagerly purchasing new prints for their collections. Nearby, you\u2019ll see other unfinished portraits van Dyck created for the series.</p>\n",

        "description": "Chicago Architecture: Ten Visions presents diverse views of the future of Chicago\u2019s built environment from 10 internationally renowned architects. The architects were selected from an invited competition juried by architects Stanley Tigerman and Harry Cobb, in collaboration with curators from the Art Institute\u2019s Department of Architecture. The 10 architects reflect a cross section of Chicago\u2019s vibrant architectural scene\u2014from large and small firms as well as the academic community\u2014bringing to this exhibition diverse experiences and insights. Each architect was asked to define an important issue for the future of Chicago and create a \u201cspatial commentary\u201d on that particular theme. Within a lively plan designed by Stanley Tigerman, each of the participants has curated and designed his or her own mini-exhibition in a space of approximately 21 feet square. Tigerman\u2019s setting creates a linear sequence in which visitors pass through the architects\u2019 spaces to an interactive area where the architects\u2019 commentaries can be heard by picking up a telephone. Visitors are encouraged to record their comments on any and all of the \u201cten visions.\u201d",

            "title": "Hidden Materials in John Singer Sargent\u2019s Watercolors",
            "copy": " While John Singer Sargent is most widely known for his oil portraits of august men and women in fashionable interiors, he cultivated a love of painting outdoors from an early age. As a boy he recorded his family\u2019s European travels in sketchbooks, and as his talent and repertoire grew, he acquired numerous accoutrements such as portable easels, sketching umbrellas, rigid pads of paper, and compact palettes of watercolors that allowed him to paint multiple pictures during one outing, even in challenging conditions. In fact, Sargent was an official war artist for Britain during World War I and spent four months on the front painting and sketching.   A fellow war artist, Henry Tonks, painted this watercolor caricature of Sargent in 1918, depicting the artist clothed in army greens and shielded by a sketching umbrella that Sargent camouflaged for the purpose. The painting (held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and not a part of this exhibition) gives new meaning to challenging conditions\u2014and shows us a glimpse of Sargent\u2019s life apart from glamorous portraits.   In preparation for the current exhibition John Singer Sargent and Chicago\u2019s Gilded Age , Art Institute curators, conservators, and conservation scientists examined some of Sargent\u2019s paintings and investigated his less obvious materials, finding evidence that provides valuable insight into the artist\u2019s working process. A Newsworthy Surprise Sargent captured hundreds of landscapes in watercolor as he traveled across Europe and North America. In 1908 he painted Tarragona Terrace and Garden when he visited the eastern coast of Spain. Seated in the arcade of Tarragona\u2019s cathedral, Sargent made a quick study of its columns.   While he generally preferred to leave parts of the paper bare to delineate highlights, the foliage in the upper left corner of this picture was painted using a different technique. Here it appears that Sargent simply laid in a mass of greens and browns and then returned with an opaque, zinc white paint to create his highlights. In order to fully conceal the dark colors underneath, Sargent had to use thick dabs of white as if he were making a correction in oils. Sargent often made multiple paintings in one day and would interleave his paintings with sheets of newspaper for protection as he carried them. He did this with Tarragona Terrace and Garden , perhaps not realizing that the thickly applied areas of paint had not dried completely when he laid the newspaper on its surface. As an unintended consequence, fragments from a Spanish newspaper stuck to the painting, remnants of Sargent\u2019s panting process that survive today.   In normal light these tiny pieces of newsprint are barely noticeable, but they stand out in an infrared photograph, which makes some of the Spanish text almost legible.   Wax in a Watercolor Nearly 10 years after he painted Tarragona Terrace and Garden , Sargent made another series of stunning architectural studies while visiting his friends Charles and James Deering in Florida. Sargent was drawn to Vizcaya, the lavish estate that James had recently built, not least of all because it reminded him of the Italian landscapes and gardens that he loved to paint.   Analytical instruments in the conservation science lab at the Art Institute can help answer a lot of questions about artists\u2019 materials. In the case of this work, scientists sought more information about a soft, translucent material found in discrete areas on its surface. The material was analyzed and determined to be a wax, which Sargent used as a \u201cresist\u201d\u2014meaning that he marked the paper with a transparent material that would repel the water-based paint and leave highlights in the composition.   Analysis also revealed that the wax is a type called spermaceti, a product obtained from sperm whales and a major commercial product of the whaling industry. In Sargent\u2019s time this wax was commonly used to make candles. Finding it here helps to explain Sargent\u2019s process\u2014because spermaceti is softer than other common waxes such as beeswax, it would have been the logical choice for use as a drawing material. To learn more about Sargent\u2019s process and materials come visit John Singer Sargent and Chicago\u2019s Gilded Age in the Art Institute\u2019s Regenstein Hall through September 30, and check out the technical essay in the exhibition catalogue . \u2014Mary Broadway, associate conservator of prints and drawings ",

Let your eyes travel down down to her left and right and you\u2019ll see two dwarves entering with ingredients for her stew. The one to the left hauls a carrot and the one to the right lugs an oversized hare. A bit further to the right, two dwarves stand on andirons and manage the fire. And as you look toward the exterior of the scene, two more dwarves stand on guard. One just above Snow White turns a tiny knob, while the other is literally asleep on the job under a toadstool.   If you\u2019ve been counting carefully, you know that we\u2019ve only accounted for six dwarves so far. The last would have been perched on top of the key that would have unlocked this lock. The key isn\u2019t here, but see below for a historical picture.   Koralewsky was a German-born metalworker who immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century. He settled in Boston and joined the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts, which specialized in locksmithing and hardware. This delicate piece took Koralewsky seven years to complete, but it won the gold medal at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. \u2014Katie Rahn ",

        "title": "Secrets of the Modern Wing",
        "copy": " I give a lot of tours of the Modern Wing, and there are details about the building that most visitors like but that aren\u2019t necessarily apparent to anyone going through the building on their own. So, here are some \u201csecrets\u201d of the Modern Wing. The building that now sits on Monroe Street is actually the third version of the expansion that the museum planned. We started thinking about expanding in 1999, before Millennium Park was built. So the original idea was to put the expansion on the south side of the building, over the railroad tracks. But once Millennium Park started to become more than parking lots, broken bottles, and train tracks, the architect Renzo Piano and museum leaders decided to completely reorient the building to face north. This move was made in 2001. To \u201ctalk\u201d to the park, and to test some proportional ideas for the fa\u00e7ade, Piano designed the two Exelon Pavilions across the street from the Modern Wing. You may know these pavilions as the entrances to the parking garages under the park. Same materials, same ideas as those for the Modern Wing. Modest structures, big architect.   A guiding principle for the Modern Wing is Piano\u2019s idea of \u201czero gravity\u201d\u2014that buildings should appear to levitate and lift. I had always heard about this idea, and I sense it when I\u2019m in the building, but it was never quite sure of how the details\u2014beyond lots of verticals\u2014worked. But the key to it in the Modern Wing is that everything is designed to not quite meet the floor. Every wall has a one-inch \u201creveal\u201d at the bottom of it. Piano designed all the benches, and they all sit slightly up off the floor on little pegs.   Every sculpture pedestal and platform also sit up off the floor. The main staircase also \u201cfloats,\u201d with an inch between what appears to be its base and the floor. Tiny detail, huge impact.   More to come! \u2014Erin Hogan ",

One of the most iconic examples of Picasso\u2019s early Cubism, this portrait of the artist\u2019s dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler (1884\u20131979) was created over more than 30 working sessions. With each sitting, Picasso further broke down and recombined the forms he saw, eventually arriving at a depiction of Kahnweiler as a network of shimmering, semitransparent surfaces that fracture into different planes and shapes.   One of Germany\u2019s leading modern painters, Gabrielle M\u00fcnter was known for her use of saturated color and loose brushwork verging on abstraction. Often using toys as the subjects of her still lifes, she infused her work with a liveliness and wit. Here, her painting includes a depiction of a wax doll made by her friend, the Russian dancer Alexander Sacharoff.   In his seminal 1912 publication, Concerning the Spiritual in Art , Vasily Kandinsky advocated an art that could move beyond imitation of the physical world, inspiring, as he put it, \"vibrations in the soul.\u201d Improvisation No. 30 (Cannons) \u2014one of the first works in which he attempted to depict those \u201cvibrations\u201d \u2014 is a standout work within the Art Institute\u2019s modern art collection, which includes five key paintings by Kandinsky.   This monumental painting is the result of an intense period of experimentation and revision for artist Henri Matisse. He originally painted the work as a pastoral scene of standing and seated bathers, but over the next decade he transformed it into the cubist-inflected composition seen today. When the painting was acquired by the Art Institute in 1953, Matisse told the museum\u2019s director that he viewed the painting as one of his five most pivotal works.   In 1913, on a transatlantic voyage to New York, Francis Picabia was amused by two fellow passengers: an exotic dancer and a Dominican priest, who could not resist the temptation of watching the dancer rehearse. In response, Picabia created this monumental canvas that evokes the sensations of dance and a ship moving through rolling seas. He titled the work Edtaonisl , an acronym made by alternating the letters of the French words \u00e9toile (star) and dans[e] (dance).   Among the most influential images in the early history of Surrealism, Giorgio de Chirico\u2019s The Philosopher\u2019s Conquest seems rife with meaning yet remains resolutely enigmatic. By juxtaposing incongruous objects, the artist sought to produce what he called art that resembles \u201cthe restlessness of myth.\u201d De Chirico\u2019s works profoundly affected artists associated with the Surrealist movement, who in the 1920s and 1930s used similarly unconventional pairings to explore the realm of the subconscious in their work.   While working in Russia in 1915, Kazimir Malevich invented Suprematism, a revolutionary mode of abstraction, which he considered a new type of realism. Breaking away from observed reality to focus instead on the relationships between colored geometric forms against a textured white background, the artist freed his compositions from traditional givens\u2014like top or bottom, left or right\u2014and presented everyday scenes, such as an athlete playing soccer, as if they existed in four dimensions.   Among the earliest proponents of abstract painting in Europe, Frantisek Kupka immigrated from Bohemia (in present-day Czech Republic) to Paris in 1896. Traveling to Paris and Chartres, France, he studied the stained-glass windows of Gothic and Romanesque cathedrals and created radiant abstractions that convey the feeling of light passing through colored glass.   Functioning simultaneously as an abstract painting and a concrete poem, Suzanne Duchamp\u2019s Broken and Restored Multiplication is filled with visual and verbal metaphors of disorder and breakage. In this collage-like array, she turns the iconic metal lattice of the Eiffel Tower upside-down, alerting us to the fragility, but also the flexibility, of systems such as language and memory that allow us to recognize our place in the world, even as it seems to be falling apart.   Constantin Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i's Golden Bird is an icon of modern sculpture and one of more than two dozen Bird sculptures the artist created in his quest for self-sufficient form. As Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i once said, \u201cAll my life, I have sought to render the essence of flight.\u201d In this work, details such as feet, a tail, and an upturned beak are barely suggested, and the elegant, streamlined silhouette of the polished bronze contrasts the rough-hewn wood base.   Piet Mondrian, a founding member of the revolutionary international movement De Stijl (the Style), argued that \u201cthe straight line tells the truth.\u201d Deceptively simple, his works are the result of constant adjustment to achieve absolute balance and harmony. In Lozenge Composition with Yellow, Black, Blue, Red, and Gray , Mondrian rotated a square canvas 90-degrees to create a dynamic relationship between the rectilinear composition and the diagonal lines of the edges of the support.   One of the most prolific artists of the 20th century, Picasso arguably influenced the direction of modern art more than any other single figure. In this work, a portrait of Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter, he used an approach inflected by both Cubism and Surrealism, depicting Walter\u2019s face from a frontal and profile view simultaneously.   Although Marcel Duchamp began his career as a painter, he is best known for his attempts to prove the end of \u201cretinal art,\u201d or artworks created to please the eye. His answer was the \u201creadymade,\u201d an ordinary object transformed into a work of art simply by means of its selection and designation as such by an artist. His Bottle Rack , first realized in 1914, is the earliest work of this type, and was acquired by the Art Institute in 2018. Learn more about Duchamp\u2019s Bottle Rack on the museum\u2019s blog .   Among the boldest and the most brilliantly colored of all of Max Beckmann\u2019s self-portraits, this was perhaps the last painting the artist completed in Berlin before he and his wife fled to the Netherlands\u2014just two days after Adolf Hitler delivered a speech condemning modern art. In 1937, shortly after this work was made, more than 500 of his works were confiscated from German public collections.   White Crucifixion represents a critical turning point for Marc Chagall and for the history of 20th-century art: it was the first of a series of compositions in which the artist portrayed Christ as a Jewish martyr and identified the Nazis with Christ\u2019s tormentors. Painted in response to the terror and trauma of Kristallnacht, an anti-Jewish pogrom, this work is among the most overtly political paintings of Chagall\u2019s career. ",

Georgia O\u2019Keeffe didn't travel in an airplane until she was in her 70s, but when she did, she was fascinated. She started a series of paintings inspired by her in-flight experiences. The works began small and progressively got bigger until the final canvas in the series, Sky above Clouds IV , which is so large that it has never traveled since coming to the Art Institute.   One of America's most famous paintings, American Gothic , debuted at the Art Institute of Chicago, winning a $300 prize and instant fame for Grant Wood. It has long been parodied and is often seen as a satirical commentary on the Midwestern character, but Wood intended it to a positive statement about rural American values. Read more about this work on our blog, where a curator answers the top five FAQs about the iconic painting.   One of the best-known images of 20th-century art, Nighthawks depicts an all-night diner in which three customers, all lost in their own thoughts, have congregated. It's unclear how or why the anonymous and uncommunicative night owls are there\u2014in fact, Hopper eliminated any reference to an entrance to the diner. The four seem as separate and remote from the viewer as they are from one another. (The red-haired woman was actually modeled by the artist\u2019s wife, Jo.)   Known today for his paintings and murals depicting Mexican political and cultural life, Diego Rivera enjoyed a brief but sparkling period as a Cubist painter early in his career. In this work he portrayed his then-lover, the Russian-born painter and writer Marevna Vorob\u00ebv-Stebelska, clearly conveying her distinctive bobbed hair, blond bangs, and prominent nose\u2014despite or with the aid of the Cubist style. Like many other artists in Paris, Rivera rejected Cubism as frivolous and inappropriate following World War I and the Russian Revolution.   A native Chicagoan and graduate of the School of the Art Institute, Archibald Motley used his art to represent the vibrancy of African American culture, frequently portraying young, sophisticated city dwellers out on the town. One of Motley\u2019s most celebrated paintings, Nightlife depicts a crowded cabaret in the South Side neighborhood of Bronzeville. The dynamic composition, intense lighting, and heightened colors vividly express the liveliness of the scene.   The only American artist invited to exhibit with the French Impressionists, Mary Cassatt concentrated on the human figure, particularly on sensitive yet unsentimental portrayals of women and children. In The Child\u2019s Bath , one of Cassatt\u2019s masterworks, she used cropped forms, bold patterns and outlines, and a flattened perspective, all of which she derived from her study of Japanese woodblock prints.   Eldzier Cortor lived in Chicago and attended the School of the Art Institute, and while drawn to abstraction, he felt that it was not an effective tool for conveying serious social and political concerns. In The Room No. VI, the artist exposes the impoverished living conditions experienced by many African Americans on the South Side through a brilliant use of line and color, reinvigorating the idiom of social realism.   Though Stuart Davis studied with the so-called Ashcan School, who sought to depict a realistic look at modern urban life, he came to embrace a more abstracted and energetic style, as seen in Ready-to-Wear . The bright colors intersect and interrupt one another in a distinctly American way: jazzy, vital, and mass produced\u2014all qualities summed up in the title.   In addition to architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright designed furniture like this chair from his home in Oak Park, Illinois. Though his early experiments were heavy, solid cube chairs, he eventually added the refinements seen in this design, such as spindles, the subtly tapering crest rail, and gently curving leg ends, all of which produce an effect that is equal parts sophistication and simplicity.   In The Herring Net, Winslow Homer depicts two fishermen at their daily yet heroic work. As the small boat rides the swells, one fisherman hauls in the heavy net while the other unloads the glistening herring, illustrating that teamwork is essential for survival on this churning sea that both gives and takes.

One of the most famous American paintings of all time, this double portrait by Grant Wood debuted at the Art Institute in 1930, winning the artist a $300 prize and instant fame. Many people think the couple are a husband and wife, but Wood meant the couple to be a father and his daughter. (His sister and his dentist served as his models.) He intended this Depression-era canvas to be a positive statement about rural American values during a time of disillusionment. See American Gothic on view in Gallery 263.   For his largest and best-known painting, Georges Seurat depicted Parisians enjoying all sorts of leisurely activities\u2014strolling, lounging, sailing, and fishing\u2014in the park called La Grande Jatte in the River Seine. He used an innovative technique called Pointillism, inspired by optical and color theory, applying tiny dabs of different colored paint that viewers see as a single, and Seurat believed, more brilliant hue. See this work on view in Gallery 240.   Hero Construction , created in 1958, just a year after Chicago sculptor Richard Hunt graduated from the School of the Art Institute, is composed of found objects\u2014old pipes, bits of metal, and automobile parts\u2014that the artist discovered in junkyards and on the street. Inspired by mythology and heroic sculptures past and present, the welded figure suggests a hero for our times, humble yet resilient in the face of past, present, and future injustices and uncertainties. See Hero Construction on view on the Woman's Board Grand Staircase.   This iconic painting of an all-night diner in which three customers sit together and yet seem totally isolated from one another has become one of the best-known images of 20th-century art. Hopper said of the enigmatic work, \u201cUnconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city.\u201d See Nighthawks on view in Gallery 262.   In the 1970s, Alma Thomas was enthralled by astronauts and outer space. Starry Night and the Astronauts not only captures her fascination with space flight but also shows the signature style of her abstract works, which use short, rhythmic strokes of paint. \u201cColor is life,\u201d she once proclaimed, \u201cand light is the mother of color.\u201d Thomas made this work in 1972, when she was 81\u2014the same year she became the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. See Starry Night and the Astronauts in Gallery 291.   Pablo Picasso\u2019s The Old Guitarist is a work from his Blue Period (1901\u201304). During this time the artist restricted himself to a cold, monochromatic blue palette and flattened forms, taking on the themes of misery and alienation inspired by such artists as Edvard Munch and Paul Gauguin. The elongated, angular figure also relates to Picasso\u2019s interest in Spanish art and, in particular, the great 16th-century artist El Greco . The image re\ufb02ects the 22-year-old Picasso\u2019s personal sympathy for the plight of the downtrodden; he knew what it was like to be poor, having been nearly penniless during all of 1902. See The Old Guitarist on view in Gallery 391.   Over his short five-year career, Vincent van Gogh painted 35 self-portraits\u201424 of them, including this early example, during his two-year stay in Paris with his brother Theo. Here, Van Gogh used densely dabbed brushwork, an approach influenced by Georges Seurat\u2019s revolutionary technique in A Sunday on La Grande Jatte\u20141884 (on view Gallery in 240), to create a dynamic portrayal of himself. The dazzling array of dots and dashes in brilliant greens, blues, reds, and oranges is anchored by his intense gaze. See Van Gogh's Self-Portrait on view in Gallery 241.   Caught in the heat of battle with sword raised and horse rearing, this mounted figure may match many notions of a knight in shining armor but actually represents a common hired soldier. The armors for both man and horse were produced in Nuremberg, Germany, in the 16th century, but the clothing was meticulously recreated in 2017 from period designs. Look for the special leggings: small plates of steel are sewn between two pieces of linen to protect the soldier's legs. You'll also spot some splashes of mud and grime from the battlefield. See Field Armor for Man and Horse on view in Gallery 239.   The densely painted and geometrically patterned Kuba mask is a ngady mwaash , an idealized representation of a woman that honors the role of women in Kuba life. Ngady mwaah most often appear as part of a trio of royal masks in reenactments of the Kuba Kingdom\u2019s origins, which are staged at public ceremonies, initiations, and funerals. In these masquerades, the ngady mwaash dances together with the mooshamb-wooy mask, which represents the king (who is both her brother and her husband), and the bwoom mask. Male mask characters like bwoom display aggression and heaviness while female characters like ngady mwaash dance in a sensuous and graceful manner even though the mask is always worn by a man. See this ngady mwaash on view in Gallery 137.   This 12th-century statue of the Buddha comes from the south Indian coastal town of Nagapattinam, where Buddhist monasteries flourished and attracted monks from distant lands. He is seated in a lotus posture of meditation, with hands and feet resting atop one another. The mark on his forehead is called the urna, which distinguishes the Buddha as a great being. See this work on view in Gallery 140.   A native Chicagoan and graduate of the School of the Art Institute, Archibald Motley used his art to represent the vibrancy of African American culture, frequently portraying young, sophisticated city dwellers out on the town. One of Motley\u2019s most celebrated paintings, Nightlife depicts a crowded cabaret in the South Side neighborhood of Bronzeville. The dynamic composition, intense lighting, and heightened colors vividly express the liveliness of the scene. See Nightlife in Gallery 263.   Painted in the summer of 1965, when Georgia O'Keeffe was 77 years old, this monumental work culminates the artist\u2019s series based on her experiences as an airplane passenger during the 1950s. Spanning the entire 24-foot width of O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s garage, the work has not left the Art Institute since it came into the building\u2014because of its size and because of its status as an essential icon. See Sky above Clouds IV on view in Gallery 249.   More than 100 years ago, Agnes F. Northrop designed the monumental Hartwell Memorial Window for Tiffany Studios as a commission from Mary Hartwell in honor of her husband, Frederick Hartwell, for the Central Baptist Church of Providence, Rhode Island (now Community Church of Providence). Composed of 48 panels and numerous different glass types, the window is inspired by the view from Frederick Hartwell\u2019s family home near Mt. Chocorua in New Hampshire. The majestic scene captures the transitory beauty of nature\u2014the sun setting over a mountain, flowing water, and dappled light dancing through the trees\u2014in an intricate arrangement of vibrantly colored glass. See the Hartwell Memorial Window on view at the top of the Woman's Board Grand Staircase. ",

            "copy": " Artist, poet, and revered national hero Malangatana Ngwenya (1936\u20132011) was a pioneer of modern art in Africa. Born in Mozambique, in southeast Africa, Malangatana depicted vivid allegorical scenes that draw from local religious practices, his cultural background, and life under colonial rule. This exhibition presented a selection of the artist\u2019s early paintings and drawings, made between 1959 and 1975. During this period Malangatana embarked on bold formal experiments that coalesced into a signature style characterized by dense compositions of human, animal, and monstrous figures. Malangatana\u2019s early career coincided with Mozambique\u2019s liberation struggle, in particular the armed resistance against the Portuguese in 1964, which was spearheaded by the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO). A Portuguese colony until 1975, Mozambique was among the last countries on the African continent to gain independence. Malangatana explored the rapidly changing world around him and addressed the country\u2019s social and political context in his paintings and drawings. These works exemplify the confluence of artistic innovation and political liberation that has shaped the history of modern art in Africa during the second half of the twentieth century.   A Hybrid Education Growing up in the village of Matalana, Malangatana encountered local art and craft traditions such as pottery, basketry, and painting before moving to Mozambique\u2019s capital, Louren\u00e7o Marques (now Maputo), to find work. Racial and social barriers of the colonial system limited black Mozambicans\u2019 access to formal art education. However, colonial policies promoting integration through assimilation\u2014pressuring the local black population to adopt the language, religion, and values of the Portuguese\u2014made art classes available to Malangatana at the Industrial School as well as the Art Center of the Colony of Mozambique in the late 1950s. At the Art Center, Malangatana encountered European styles of painting and met Portuguese architect Am\u00e2ncio d\u2019Alpoim Miranda \u201cPancho\u201d Guedes, who became a significant mentor and patron. Guedes encouraged him to leave the Art Center in order to avoid, in Malangatana\u2019s words, \u201cpollution\u201d by a formal education anchored in European painting traditions. Guedes gave Malangatana studio space and a salary, and commissioned a large number of paintings in the years prior to the artist\u2019s first solo exhibition in 1961.   Mythology and Religion Many of Malangatana\u2019s works from the late 1950s to the early 1970s refer to the artist\u2019s Mozambican roots, specifically his Ronga cultural background. The paintings in this section feature Ronga folklore, mythology, and healing rituals. Frequently the artist included Catholic symbols, signs of the pervasive Portuguese influence in Mozambique. Malangatana\u2019s exaggerated depictions of Ronga culture verge on the satirical, and his references to Christianity are similarly unflattering, suggesting a critique of Portuguese colonial rule. Malangatana\u2019s work demonstrates how he carefully balanced all aspects of life in Mozambique, from colonial influences and indigenous customs and practices to the struggle for independence. These experiences\u2014as well as his art education and the structures of patronage he was embedded in\u2014were layered and complex, subverting the clich\u00e9d notion of the self-taught African artist who, unspoiled by foreign influences, finds inspiration in \u201cprimitive\u201d practices and beliefs, an idea that persists in the art history and reception of modern African art.   Beyond Painting and Drawing Malangatana was also active as an educator, muralist, sculptor, and writer. He frequently published in journals and corresponded extensively with peers and friends all over the world. In addition, he wrote poetry, at times to accompany his paintings. Malangatana drew from personal aspects of his life in his poems, some of which were presented in an issue of the African literary journal Black Orpheus.   In 1995 Malangatana started building a cultural center in his birth village of Matalana to host art education and community events. The center\u2019s architecture combines the geometric logic and industrial materials of Bauhaus design\u2014inspired by the work of Malangatana\u2019s friend and patron Pancho Guedes, a renowned modern architect\u2014with elements such as circular windows, teeth, grids, and figurative wall reliefs (fig. 1). The grid design of this exhibition borrowed from the center\u2019s architecture (fig. 2).   Prison Drawings In 1965\u201366 the International and State Defense Police (PIDE) imprisoned Malangatana for 18 months because of his suspected involvement with the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO). While incarcerated, the artist began a series of drawings that he continued to work on after his release. The works capture the harsh conditions of life in Machava Central Prison through striking realism interrupted by fantasy scenes and dreams, their tension amplified by distorted bodies and monstrous figures. In 1961 mentor and patron Pancho Guedes introduced Malangatana to Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane, the founding president of the movement FRELIMO. Malangatana hoped to go abroad for international opportunities and exposure, but Mondlane encouraged him to stay in Mozambique and use art to contribute to the anti-colonial struggle. The artist\u2019s growing political awareness during the 1960s is apparent in the increasingly political tone of his work. He also expressed dissent by withdrawing from the 1964 exhibition Artists in Mozambique to protest Nelson Mandela\u2019s imprisonment and by refusing to represent Portugal at the 1965 S\u00e3o Paulo Art Biennial.   Artist of the Revolution After receiving a yearlong scholarship in 1971 from the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, Malangatana explored new media and pursued exhibition opportunities across Europe\u2014before returning permanently to Mozambique in 1974. There he continued experimenting in his art by elongating limbs, introducing opaque colors, and moving further into abstraction with thick outlines and flattened compositions. The titles of his works during this period, such as The Cry for Freedom and Remember Those Who Entered Bleeding? , reflect the focus on the war for independence and the sense of urgency Mozambicans felt at the time: in 1974 a ceasefire ended the war, followed by ten months of negotiations and the country\u2019s independence on June 25, 1975. After independence Malangatana was embraced as an artist of the revolution, and his work, including state-funded murals, was recognized as an exemplar of Mozambican culture. In addition to holding multiple roles within the newly formed government, he was appointed ambassador of peace during Mozambique\u2019s civil war (1977\u201392) and UNESCO Artist for Peace in 1997. He was also instrumental in establishing Mozambique\u2019s National Museum of Art in Maputo. Malangatana continued working as a civic leader, educator, poet, and, foremost, as an artist until his death in 2011. ",

        "copy": " The Art Institute of Chicago has been at the forefront of American museums in collecting and displaying modern art since the early twentieth century, and boasts an ongoing commitment to extending this vital legacy with research, publications, and exhibitions. In that spirit, a number of our curators came together in 2013 for a series of discussions exploring ideas about modern art, in particular the ways in which it manifests across our collections. This gave rise to the Modern Series, a set of three experimental, challenging, and provocative exhibitions and publications that are co-organized by curators across departments, with divergent but complementary specialties. The two previous iterations\u2014 Shatter Rupture Break (February 15\u2013May 3, 2015) and Go (February 23\u2013June 4, 2017)\u2014sought to present the museum\u2019s holdings in departments including Arts of the Americas, Modern and Contemporary Art, Photography and Media, and Textiles in fresh and exciting ways. Malangatana: Mozambique Modern (July 30\u2013November 16, 2020), the third and final project in the series, expands our understanding of modernism and modern art in a global context by bringing the work of celebrated Mozambican artist Malangatana Ngwenya (1936\u20132011) into conversation with our own international collection. It not only showcases the evolution in style and content within his early paintings and drawings, but also contextualizes his practice within the social and political conditions that framed the emergence of modern art in Mozambique and across the African continent. The exhibition also contributed to the cultivation of a more global perspective on artistic creation and its representation in the museum, both by providing the basis for this publication and, not least, by prompting us to acquire a painting and six works on paper by Malangatana for our permanent collection. Africa and its diasporas, with their deep history and wide geographical reach, occupy a prominent place within global art history and modern art that merits many more such efforts and programs in the years to come. Our colleagues\u2014notably Sarah Guernsey, Ann Goldstein, and Greg Nosan\u2014deserve my sincere gratitude for their continuing critical support for the Modern Series. But I am especially thankful to the exhibition\u2019s curators, Hendrik Folkerts, Felicia Mings, and Constantine Petridis, for introducing our staff and visitors to the fascinating milieu and work of Malangatana Ngwenya and for helping the Art Institute expand its representation of modern art from around the world. This exhibition would not have been possible without the generosity of the individuals and institutions in the United States, Portugal, and Mozambique who lent works from their collections. I am particularly grateful to the Malangatana Valente Ngwenya Foundation in Maputo for its invaluable loan of a significant number of paintings and drawings. Major funding for Malangatana: Mozambique Modern was provided by Sylvia Neil and Dan Fischel and the Alfred L. McDougal and Nancy Lauter McDougal Fund for Contemporary Art. Additional support is contributed by the Society for Contemporary Art through the SCA Activation Fund and the Miriam U. Hoover Foundation. Members of the Luminary Trust provide annual leadership support for the museum\u2019s operations, including exhibition development, conservation and collection care, and educational programming. The Luminary Trust includes an anonymous donor; Neil Bluhm and the Bluhm Family Charitable Foundation; Jay Franke and David Herro; Karen Gray-Krehbiel and John Krehbiel, Jr.; Kenneth Griffin; Caryn and King Harris, The Harris Family Foundation; Josef and Margot Lakonishok; Robert M. and Diane v.S. Levy; Ann and Samuel M. Mencoff; Sylvia Neil and Dan Fischel; Anne and Chris Reyes; Cari and Michael J. Sacks; and the Earl and Brenda Shapiro Foundation. Most importantly, I acknowledge with deepest thanks the intellectual and financial support of Sylvia Neil and Dan Fischel, who have provided crucial funding for the realization of this catalogue as well as the previous two in the Modern Series. Their ongoing commitment has enabled and encouraged our continued explorations into the possibilities of digital publication. James Rondeau President and Eloise W. Martin Director ",

            "copy": " The Pushtimarg, a Hindu sect established in India in the 15th century, possesses a unique culture\u2014reaching back centuries and still vital today\u2014in which art and devotion are deeply intertwined. This important volume, illustrated with more than one hundred vivid images, offers a new, in-depth look at the Pushtimarg and its rich aesthetic traditions, which are largely unknown outside of South Asia. Original essays by eminent scholars of Indian art focus on the style of worship, patterns of patronage, and artistic heritage that generated pichvais , large paintings on cloth designed to hang in temples, as well as other paintings for the Pushtimarg. In this expansive study, the authors deftly examine how pichvais were and still are used in the seasonal and daily veneration of Shrinathji, an aspect of Krishna as a child who is the chief deity of the temple town of Nathdwara in Rajasthan. Gates of the Lord introduces readers not only to the visual world of the Pushtimarg but also to the spirit of Nathdwara.

            "copy": " How do artists use faces, places, and inner spaces to express themselves and their world? We all know what a face looks like, but no two faces are exactly alike. In works of art, we find an endless parade of faces. They can help us discover how people from different cultures and times have seen themselves.   Just like faces, places are full of variety. The word \"place\" can mean anything from the corner of a drawer to a neighborhood, from a kitchen to a forest, from a backyard to the moon! By looking at landscapes and cityscapes, interiors and exteriors, we can become more aware of our everyday life and appreciate what surrounds us.   Faces and places are all around us, but what about inner spaces? Inner spaces can be found in our minds, private places created by our emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and imagination. Artists who depict their dreams or fantasies share something very personal that might resemble some of our own thoughts, or seem so strange that we want to know more.   All of the art featured in Faces, Places, and Inner Spaces is from the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, which houses more than 300,000 works within its 11 curatorial departments. This book includes such world-famous treasures as A Sunday on La Grande Jatte\u20141884 by Georges Seurat and American Gothic by Grant Wood. Though housed in one place, the artworks' universal themes and content make them accessible to every reader everywhere.   Jean Sousa   Hardcover $18.95   48 pages, 10 1/4 x 10 1/4 in. 38 ills.

I'm Andrew.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>And I'm Melissa.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>And we're so excited that you decided to check out the multi-sensory gallery at the Art Institute.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>And that you're listening to the audio tour.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>Melissa, that word multisensory is kind of a mouthful. What does it mean?</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>Well, we know about the human senses. You know, sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell. Most of the time we're using them in combinations. Hearing and touching at the same time, for instance. That's multi-sensory. And artworks are something where we use all of our senses to take them in.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>Wait hold on. Last time I checked, we weren't supposed to touch things at the museum, let alone taste or smell them.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>You're right about that. We shouldn't touch things, and we definitely shouldn't taste anything in the galleries because it'll damage the works of art. But here in the multi-sensory gallery, we've got really cool things that you can touch and tap to see how they might feel and sound. And you can imagine how they might taste and smell too.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>You know, artists also use their senses when they're creating works of art, choosing a block of wood for carving or feeling the heat of a super hot furnace for melting metal, turning greasy wool into yarn, or digging into a block of marble. That's all really physical work that requires a lot of coordination between the mind and the body.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>That's right. And we're going to meet four artists and hear about how they use their materials and their tools to create the works that are hanging in this gallery.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>You can, of course, listen as you look, but we also encourage you to run your hand over the surface of each of the works of art as you hear how they were made.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>We'll let you know where you can find other works of art made out of these materials in the museums galleries. But remember, this is the only place we're allowed to touch. The two of us will be in so much trouble if everyone starts touching things out there.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>Yeah, no touching and definitely no licking.</p>\n<p>Speaker 2<br>Yeah. Andrew, I really don't think that's on anyone's mind.</p>\n<p>Speaker 1<br>I know. I just, you know, need to remind myself sometimes. All right. I think that about covers it. Get your senses ready and we'll see what the first artwork.</p>\n",

And in Urhobo culture, it's a representation of maternity and women and the role they play in society.</p>\n<p>Perkins Foss</p>\n<p>She is a figure known as Edjo and she would be one of a group of individuals carved. And of course, that would be in a shrine that is commemorating, some would say, founding heroes, the founding family that settled an Urhobo community. Hi, I'm Perkins Foss and I am a retired associate professor of the history of art at Penn State University. Her stature as a senior titled individual is the ring, I guess we could say of... it's beads. It goes from shoulder, it continues down to her breast and up the other side. She's got a coiffure, only fragments of which are still left. That is a number of vertical tufts that would be tied off in such a way that it's almost, in a European sense, crown-like.</p>\n<p>Janet Purdy</p>\n<p>One of the important things to look at this is that the representation of the jewelry is showing different fashions of different times, and so these kind of figures would differ across different regions in the Niger delta. They would, over time, their adornment would change, and while we can't really see this woman's hairstyle, it would've been a very fashionable, really elaborate hairstyle represented at the time that this was carved.</p>\n<p>One of my favorite quotes is from a prolific Urhobo artist. His name is Bruce Onobrakpeya, and he's one of the biggest print makers in all of Africa, not just West Africa. And one of the things that he says about Urhobo art in general is, his quote is that &quot;art itself is the reflection of the life of people&quot;, and he's trying to carry that forward in whatever art form. He makes prints, but his father was a carver, so he's trying to make sure that whatever art forms that Urhobo people continue to create, that they reflect their life and culture and spirituality.</p>\n",

But they typically were used to represent political figures or scholars.</p>\n<p>NARRATOR: Until Van Dyck\u2019 created the Iconography. In this series of prints he not only included political leaders and other renowned citizens, but artists as well, signaling their growing importance in 17th century European society. The Art Institute is fortunate to own all of Van Dyck\u2019s etchings for this project, and they are exhibited here for the first time in almost a century.</p>\n<p>The artist began the series by casually creating 15 portraits, expecting that expert printmakers would finish his plates. He could hardly have anticipated the interest these \u2018unfinished\u2019 prints would generate.</p>\n<p>In this portrait of artist Justus Sustermans, Van Dyck paid great attention to detail in his sitter\u2019s face.</p>\n<p>VICTORIA SANCHO LOBIS: And then from there, the description of the sitter becomes increasingly abstract. And we eventually get to the painter\u2019s right hand, which is drawn in with just the most preliminary and rudimentary lines, sort of square-shaped fingertips, and no shading whatsoever.</p>\n<p>NARRATOR: This contrast between detailed depiction and imaginative abstraction is precisely what caught a collector\u2019s eye and what still seems so modern about Van Dyck\u2019s etchings today. Van Dyck\u2019s self-portrait is probably the first unfinished print ever to have been produced in an edition.</p>\n<p>VICTORIA SANCHO LOBIS: Like most of the etchings that Van Dyck made, this print shows the effects of an imperfectly polished copper plate. So we see scratches, particularly in the upper register. There\u2019s various other passages where a more conscientious printmaker would have taken pains to remove blemishes or imperfections. But these seemed not to bother Van Dyck very much, nor did it bother some of the early collectors.</p>\n<p>NARRATOR: Those collectors immediately embraced van Dyck\u2019s revolutionary portraiture, eagerly purchasing new prints for their collections. Nearby, you\u2019ll see other unfinished portraits van Dyck created for the series.</p>\n",

        "description": "Chicago Architecture: Ten Visions presents diverse views of the future of Chicago\u2019s built environment from 10 internationally renowned architects. The architects were selected from an invited competition juried by architects Stanley Tigerman and Harry Cobb, in collaboration with curators from the Art Institute\u2019s Department of Architecture. The 10 architects reflect a cross section of Chicago\u2019s vibrant architectural scene\u2014from large and small firms as well as the academic community\u2014bringing to this exhibition diverse experiences and insights. Each architect was asked to define an important issue for the future of Chicago and create a \u201cspatial commentary\u201d on that particular theme. Within a lively plan designed by Stanley Tigerman, each of the participants has curated and designed his or her own mini-exhibition in a space of approximately 21 feet square. Tigerman\u2019s setting creates a linear sequence in which visitors pass through the architects\u2019 spaces to an interactive area where the architects\u2019 commentaries can be heard by picking up a telephone. Visitors are encouraged to record their comments on any and all of the \u201cten visions.\u201d",

            "title": "Hidden Materials in John Singer Sargent\u2019s Watercolors",
            "copy": " While John Singer Sargent is most widely known for his oil portraits of august men and women in fashionable interiors, he cultivated a love of painting outdoors from an early age. As a boy he recorded his family\u2019s European travels in sketchbooks, and as his talent and repertoire grew, he acquired numerous accoutrements such as portable easels, sketching umbrellas, rigid pads of paper, and compact palettes of watercolors that allowed him to paint multiple pictures during one outing, even in challenging conditions. In fact, Sargent was an official war artist for Britain during World War I and spent four months on the front painting and sketching.   A fellow war artist, Henry Tonks, painted this watercolor caricature of Sargent in 1918, depicting the artist clothed in army greens and shielded by a sketching umbrella that Sargent camouflaged for the purpose. The painting (held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and not a part of this exhibition) gives new meaning to challenging conditions\u2014and shows us a glimpse of Sargent\u2019s life apart from glamorous portraits.   In preparation for the current exhibition John Singer Sargent and Chicago\u2019s Gilded Age , Art Institute curators, conservators, and conservation scientists examined some of Sargent\u2019s paintings and investigated his less obvious materials, finding evidence that provides valuable insight into the artist\u2019s working process. A Newsworthy Surprise Sargent captured hundreds of landscapes in watercolor as he traveled across Europe and North America. In 1908 he painted Tarragona Terrace and Garden when he visited the eastern coast of Spain. Seated in the arcade of Tarragona\u2019s cathedral, Sargent made a quick study of its columns.   While he generally preferred to leave parts of the paper bare to delineate highlights, the foliage in the upper left corner of this picture was painted using a different technique. Here it appears that Sargent simply laid in a mass of greens and browns and then returned with an opaque, zinc white paint to create his highlights. In order to fully conceal the dark colors underneath, Sargent had to use thick dabs of white as if he were making a correction in oils. Sargent often made multiple paintings in one day and would interleave his paintings with sheets of newspaper for protection as he carried them. He did this with Tarragona Terrace and Garden , perhaps not realizing that the thickly applied areas of paint had not dried completely when he laid the newspaper on its surface. As an unintended consequence, fragments from a Spanish newspaper stuck to the painting, remnants of Sargent\u2019s panting process that survive today.   In normal light these tiny pieces of newsprint are barely noticeable, but they stand out in an infrared photograph, which makes some of the Spanish text almost legible.   Wax in a Watercolor Nearly 10 years after he painted Tarragona Terrace and Garden , Sargent made another series of stunning architectural studies while visiting his friends Charles and James Deering in Florida. Sargent was drawn to Vizcaya, the lavish estate that James had recently built, not least of all because it reminded him of the Italian landscapes and gardens that he loved to paint.   Analytical instruments in the conservation science lab at the Art Institute can help answer a lot of questions about artists\u2019 materials. In the case of this work, scientists sought more information about a soft, translucent material found in discrete areas on its surface. The material was analyzed and determined to be a wax, which Sargent used as a \u201cresist\u201d\u2014meaning that he marked the paper with a transparent material that would repel the water-based paint and leave highlights in the composition.   Analysis also revealed that the wax is a type called spermaceti, a product obtained from sperm whales and a major commercial product of the whaling industry. In Sargent\u2019s time this wax was commonly used to make candles. Finding it here helps to explain Sargent\u2019s process\u2014because spermaceti is softer than other common waxes such as beeswax, it would have been the logical choice for use as a drawing material. To learn more about Sargent\u2019s process and materials come visit John Singer Sargent and Chicago\u2019s Gilded Age in the Art Institute\u2019s Regenstein Hall through September 30, and check out the technical essay in the exhibition catalogue . \u2014Mary Broadway, associate conservator of prints and drawings ",

            "copy": " There\u2019s more than initially meets the eye to this exceptionally intricate lock, which was forged in iron by metalworker Frank Koralewsky and illustrates a scene from Grimms\u2019 \u201cSnow White and the Seven Dwarves.\u201d   Look closely and you\u2019ll probably see Snow White first\u2014she\u2019s stirring a cauldron over a fire in the cottage\u2019s kitchen. Let your eyes travel down down to her left and right and you\u2019ll see two dwarves entering with ingredients for her stew. The one to the left hauls a carrot and the one to the right lugs an oversized hare. A bit further to the right, two dwarves stand on andirons and manage the fire. And as you look toward the exterior of the scene, two more dwarves stand on guard. One just above Snow White turns a tiny knob, while the other is literally asleep on the job under a toadstool.   If you\u2019ve been counting carefully, you know that we\u2019ve only accounted for six dwarves so far. The last would have been perched on top of the key that would have unlocked this lock. The key isn\u2019t here, but see below for a historical picture.   Koralewsky was a German-born metalworker who immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century. He settled in Boston and joined the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts, which specialized in locksmithing and hardware. This delicate piece took Koralewsky seven years to complete, but it won the gold medal at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. \u2014Katie Rahn ",

        "title": "Secrets of the Modern Wing",
        "copy": " I give a lot of tours of the Modern Wing, and there are details about the building that most visitors like but that aren\u2019t necessarily apparent to anyone going through the building on their own. So, here are some \u201csecrets\u201d of the Modern Wing. The building that now sits on Monroe Street is actually the third version of the expansion that the museum planned. We started thinking about expanding in 1999, before Millennium Park was built. So the original idea was to put the expansion on the south side of the building, over the railroad tracks. But once Millennium Park started to become more than parking lots, broken bottles, and train tracks, the architect Renzo Piano and museum leaders decided to completely reorient the building to face north. This move was made in 2001. To \u201ctalk\u201d to the park, and to test some proportional ideas for the fa\u00e7ade, Piano designed the two Exelon Pavilions across the street from the Modern Wing. You may know these pavilions as the entrances to the parking garages under the park. Same materials, same ideas as those for the Modern Wing. Modest structures, big architect.   A guiding principle for the Modern Wing is Piano\u2019s idea of \u201czero gravity\u201d\u2014that buildings should appear to levitate and lift. I had always heard about this idea, and I sense it when I\u2019m in the building, but it was never quite sure of how the details\u2014beyond lots of verticals\u2014worked. But the key to it in the Modern Wing is that everything is designed to not quite meet the floor. Every wall has a one-inch \u201creveal\u201d at the bottom of it. Piano designed all the benches, and they all sit slightly up off the floor on little pegs.   Every sculpture pedestal and platform also sit up off the floor. The main staircase also \u201cfloats,\u201d with an inch between what appears to be its base and the floor. Tiny detail, huge impact.   More to come! \u2014Erin Hogan ",

One of the most iconic examples of Picasso\u2019s early Cubism, this portrait of the artist\u2019s dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler (1884\u20131979) was created over more than 30 working sessions. With each sitting, Picasso further broke down and recombined the forms he saw, eventually arriving at a depiction of Kahnweiler as a network of shimmering, semitransparent surfaces that fracture into different planes and shapes.   One of Germany\u2019s leading modern painters, Gabrielle M\u00fcnter was known for her use of saturated color and loose brushwork verging on abstraction. Often using toys as the subjects of her still lifes, she infused her work with a liveliness and wit. Here, her painting includes a depiction of a wax doll made by her friend, the Russian dancer Alexander Sacharoff.   In his seminal 1912 publication, Concerning the Spiritual in Art , Vasily Kandinsky advocated an art that could move beyond imitation of the physical world, inspiring, as he put it, \"vibrations in the soul.\u201d Improvisation No. 30 (Cannons) \u2014one of the first works in which he attempted to depict those \u201cvibrations\u201d \u2014 is a standout work within the Art Institute\u2019s modern art collection, which includes five key paintings by Kandinsky.   This monumental painting is the result of an intense period of experimentation and revision for artist Henri Matisse. He originally painted the work as a pastoral scene of standing and seated bathers, but over the next decade he transformed it into the cubist-inflected composition seen today. When the painting was acquired by the Art Institute in 1953, Matisse told the museum\u2019s director that he viewed the painting as one of his five most pivotal works.   In 1913, on a transatlantic voyage to New York, Francis Picabia was amused by two fellow passengers: an exotic dancer and a Dominican priest, who could not resist the temptation of watching the dancer rehearse. In response, Picabia created this monumental canvas that evokes the sensations of dance and a ship moving through rolling seas. He titled the work Edtaonisl , an acronym made by alternating the letters of the French words \u00e9toile (star) and dans[e] (dance).   Among the most influential images in the early history of Surrealism, Giorgio de Chirico\u2019s The Philosopher\u2019s Conquest seems rife with meaning yet remains resolutely enigmatic. By juxtaposing incongruous objects, the artist sought to produce what he called art that resembles \u201cthe restlessness of myth.\u201d De Chirico\u2019s works profoundly affected artists associated with the Surrealist movement, who in the 1920s and 1930s used similarly unconventional pairings to explore the realm of the subconscious in their work.   While working in Russia in 1915, Kazimir Malevich invented Suprematism, a revolutionary mode of abstraction, which he considered a new type of realism. Breaking away from observed reality to focus instead on the relationships between colored geometric forms against a textured white background, the artist freed his compositions from traditional givens\u2014like top or bottom, left or right\u2014and presented everyday scenes, such as an athlete playing soccer, as if they existed in four dimensions.   Among the earliest proponents of abstract painting in Europe, Frantisek Kupka immigrated from Bohemia (in present-day Czech Republic) to Paris in 1896. Traveling to Paris and Chartres, France, he studied the stained-glass windows of Gothic and Romanesque cathedrals and created radiant abstractions that convey the feeling of light passing through colored glass.   Functioning simultaneously as an abstract painting and a concrete poem, Suzanne Duchamp\u2019s Broken and Restored Multiplication is filled with visual and verbal metaphors of disorder and breakage. In this collage-like array, she turns the iconic metal lattice of the Eiffel Tower upside-down, alerting us to the fragility, but also the flexibility, of systems such as language and memory that allow us to recognize our place in the world, even as it seems to be falling apart.   Constantin Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i's Golden Bird is an icon of modern sculpture and one of more than two dozen Bird sculptures the artist created in his quest for self-sufficient form. As Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i once said, \u201cAll my life, I have sought to render the essence of flight.\u201d In this work, details such as feet, a tail, and an upturned beak are barely suggested, and the elegant, streamlined silhouette of the polished bronze contrasts the rough-hewn wood base.   Piet Mondrian, a founding member of the revolutionary international movement De Stijl (the Style), argued that \u201cthe straight line tells the truth.\u201d Deceptively simple, his works are the result of constant adjustment to achieve absolute balance and harmony. In Lozenge Composition with Yellow, Black, Blue, Red, and Gray , Mondrian rotated a square canvas 90-degrees to create a dynamic relationship between the rectilinear composition and the diagonal lines of the edges of the support.   One of the most prolific artists of the 20th century, Picasso arguably influenced the direction of modern art more than any other single figure. In this work, a portrait of Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter, he used an approach inflected by both Cubism and Surrealism, depicting Walter\u2019s face from a frontal and profile view simultaneously.   Although Marcel Duchamp began his career as a painter, he is best known for his attempts to prove the end of \u201cretinal art,\u201d or artworks created to please the eye. His answer was the \u201creadymade,\u201d an ordinary object transformed into a work of art simply by means of its selection and designation as such by an artist. His Bottle Rack , first realized in 1914, is the earliest work of this type, and was acquired by the Art Institute in 2018. Learn more about Duchamp\u2019s Bottle Rack on the museum\u2019s blog .   Among the boldest and the most brilliantly colored of all of Max Beckmann\u2019s self-portraits, this was perhaps the last painting the artist completed in Berlin before he and his wife fled to the Netherlands\u2014just two days after Adolf Hitler delivered a speech condemning modern art. In 1937, shortly after this work was made, more than 500 of his works were confiscated from German public collections.   White Crucifixion represents a critical turning point for Marc Chagall and for the history of 20th-century art: it was the first of a series of compositions in which the artist portrayed Christ as a Jewish martyr and identified the Nazis with Christ\u2019s tormentors. Painted in response to the terror and trauma of Kristallnacht, an anti-Jewish pogrom, this work is among the most overtly political paintings of Chagall\u2019s career. ",

Georgia O\u2019Keeffe didn't travel in an airplane until she was in her 70s, but when she did, she was fascinated. She started a series of paintings inspired by her in-flight experiences. The works began small and progressively got bigger until the final canvas in the series, Sky above Clouds IV , which is so large that it has never traveled since coming to the Art Institute.   One of America's most famous paintings, American Gothic , debuted at the Art Institute of Chicago, winning a $300 prize and instant fame for Grant Wood. It has long been parodied and is often seen as a satirical commentary on the Midwestern character, but Wood intended it to a positive statement about rural American values. Read more about this work on our blog, where a curator answers the top five FAQs about the iconic painting.   One of the best-known images of 20th-century art, Nighthawks depicts an all-night diner in which three customers, all lost in their own thoughts, have congregated. It's unclear how or why the anonymous and uncommunicative night owls are there\u2014in fact, Hopper eliminated any reference to an entrance to the diner. The four seem as separate and remote from the viewer as they are from one another. (The red-haired woman was actually modeled by the artist\u2019s wife, Jo.)   Known today for his paintings and murals depicting Mexican political and cultural life, Diego Rivera enjoyed a brief but sparkling period as a Cubist painter early in his career. In this work he portrayed his then-lover, the Russian-born painter and writer Marevna Vorob\u00ebv-Stebelska, clearly conveying her distinctive bobbed hair, blond bangs, and prominent nose\u2014despite or with the aid of the Cubist style. Like many other artists in Paris, Rivera rejected Cubism as frivolous and inappropriate following World War I and the Russian Revolution.   A native Chicagoan and graduate of the School of the Art Institute, Archibald Motley used his art to represent the vibrancy of African American culture, frequently portraying young, sophisticated city dwellers out on the town. One of Motley\u2019s most celebrated paintings, Nightlife depicts a crowded cabaret in the South Side neighborhood of Bronzeville. The dynamic composition, intense lighting, and heightened colors vividly express the liveliness of the scene.   The only American artist invited to exhibit with the French Impressionists, Mary Cassatt concentrated on the human figure, particularly on sensitive yet unsentimental portrayals of women and children. In The Child\u2019s Bath , one of Cassatt\u2019s masterworks, she used cropped forms, bold patterns and outlines, and a flattened perspective, all of which she derived from her study of Japanese woodblock prints.   Eldzier Cortor lived in Chicago and attended the School of the Art Institute, and while drawn to abstraction, he felt that it was not an effective tool for conveying serious social and political concerns. In The Room No. VI, the artist exposes the impoverished living conditions experienced by many African Americans on the South Side through a brilliant use of line and color, reinvigorating the idiom of social realism.   Though Stuart Davis studied with the so-called Ashcan School, who sought to depict a realistic look at modern urban life, he came to embrace a more abstracted and energetic style, as seen in Ready-to-Wear . The bright colors intersect and interrupt one another in a distinctly American way: jazzy, vital, and mass produced\u2014all qualities summed up in the title.   In addition to architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright designed furniture like this chair from his home in Oak Park, Illinois. Though his early experiments were heavy, solid cube chairs, he eventually added the refinements seen in this design, such as spindles, the subtly tapering crest rail, and gently curving leg ends, all of which produce an effect that is equal parts sophistication and simplicity.   In The Herring Net, Winslow Homer depicts two fishermen at their daily yet heroic work. As the small boat rides the swells, one fisherman hauls in the heavy net while the other unloads the glistening herring, illustrating that teamwork is essential for survival on this churning sea that both gives and takes.

One of the most famous American paintings of all time, this double portrait by Grant Wood debuted at the Art Institute in 1930, winning the artist a $300 prize and instant fame. Many people think the couple are a husband and wife, but Wood meant the couple to be a father and his daughter. (His sister and his dentist served as his models.) He intended this Depression-era canvas to be a positive statement about rural American values during a time of disillusionment. See American Gothic on view in Gallery 263.   For his largest and best-known painting, Georges Seurat depicted Parisians enjoying all sorts of leisurely activities\u2014strolling, lounging, sailing, and fishing\u2014in the park called La Grande Jatte in the River Seine. He used an innovative technique called Pointillism, inspired by optical and color theory, applying tiny dabs of different colored paint that viewers see as a single, and Seurat believed, more brilliant hue. See this work on view in Gallery 240.   Hero Construction , created in 1958, just a year after Chicago sculptor Richard Hunt graduated from the School of the Art Institute, is composed of found objects\u2014old pipes, bits of metal, and automobile parts\u2014that the artist discovered in junkyards and on the street. Inspired by mythology and heroic sculptures past and present, the welded figure suggests a hero for our times, humble yet resilient in the face of past, present, and future injustices and uncertainties. See Hero Construction on view on the Woman's Board Grand Staircase.   This iconic painting of an all-night diner in which three customers sit together and yet seem totally isolated from one another has become one of the best-known images of 20th-century art. Hopper said of the enigmatic work, \u201cUnconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city.\u201d See Nighthawks on view in Gallery 262.   In the 1970s, Alma Thomas was enthralled by astronauts and outer space. Starry Night and the Astronauts not only captures her fascination with space flight but also shows the signature style of her abstract works, which use short, rhythmic strokes of paint. \u201cColor is life,\u201d she once proclaimed, \u201cand light is the mother of color.\u201d Thomas made this work in 1972, when she was 81\u2014the same year she became the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. See Starry Night and the Astronauts in Gallery 291.   Pablo Picasso\u2019s The Old Guitarist is a work from his Blue Period (1901\u201304). During this time the artist restricted himself to a cold, monochromatic blue palette and flattened forms, taking on the themes of misery and alienation inspired by such artists as Edvard Munch and Paul Gauguin. The elongated, angular figure also relates to Picasso\u2019s interest in Spanish art and, in particular, the great 16th-century artist El Greco . The image re\ufb02ects the 22-year-old Picasso\u2019s personal sympathy for the plight of the downtrodden; he knew what it was like to be poor, having been nearly penniless during all of 1902. See The Old Guitarist on view in Gallery 391.   Over his short five-year career, Vincent van Gogh painted 35 self-portraits\u201424 of them, including this early example, during his two-year stay in Paris with his brother Theo. Here, Van Gogh used densely dabbed brushwork, an approach influenced by Georges Seurat\u2019s revolutionary technique in A Sunday on La Grande Jatte\u20141884 (on view Gallery in 240), to create a dynamic portrayal of himself. The dazzling array of dots and dashes in brilliant greens, blues, reds, and oranges is anchored by his intense gaze. See Van Gogh's Self-Portrait on view in Gallery 241.   Caught in the heat of battle with sword raised and horse rearing, this mounted figure may match many notions of a knight in shining armor but actually represents a common hired soldier. The armors for both man and horse were produced in Nuremberg, Germany, in the 16th century, but the clothing was meticulously recreated in 2017 from period designs. Look for the special leggings: small plates of steel are sewn between two pieces of linen to protect the soldier's legs. You'll also spot some splashes of mud and grime from the battlefield. See Field Armor for Man and Horse on view in Gallery 239.   The densely painted and geometrically patterned Kuba mask is a ngady mwaash , an idealized representation of a woman that honors the role of women in Kuba life. Ngady mwaah most often appear as part of a trio of royal masks in reenactments of the Kuba Kingdom\u2019s origins, which are staged at public ceremonies, initiations, and funerals. In these masquerades, the ngady mwaash dances together with the mooshamb-wooy mask, which represents the king (who is both her brother and her husband), and the bwoom mask. Male mask characters like bwoom display aggression and heaviness while female characters like ngady mwaash dance in a sensuous and graceful manner even though the mask is always worn by a man. See this ngady mwaash on view in Gallery 137.   This 12th-century statue of the Buddha comes from the south Indian coastal town of Nagapattinam, where Buddhist monasteries flourished and attracted monks from distant lands. He is seated in a lotus posture of meditation, with hands and feet resting atop one another. The mark on his forehead is called the urna, which distinguishes the Buddha as a great being. See this work on view in Gallery 140.   A native Chicagoan and graduate of the School of the Art Institute, Archibald Motley used his art to represent the vibrancy of African American culture, frequently portraying young, sophisticated city dwellers out on the town. One of Motley\u2019s most celebrated paintings, Nightlife depicts a crowded cabaret in the South Side neighborhood of Bronzeville. The dynamic composition, intense lighting, and heightened colors vividly express the liveliness of the scene. See Nightlife in Gallery 263.   Painted in the summer of 1965, when Georgia O'Keeffe was 77 years old, this monumental work culminates the artist\u2019s series based on her experiences as an airplane passenger during the 1950s. Spanning the entire 24-foot width of O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s garage, the work has not left the Art Institute since it came into the building\u2014because of its size and because of its status as an essential icon. See Sky above Clouds IV on view in Gallery 249.   More than 100 years ago, Agnes F. Northrop designed the monumental Hartwell Memorial Window for Tiffany Studios as a commission from Mary Hartwell in honor of her husband, Frederick Hartwell, for the Central Baptist Church of Providence, Rhode Island (now Community Church of Providence). Composed of 48 panels and numerous different glass types, the window is inspired by the view from Frederick Hartwell\u2019s family home near Mt. Chocorua in New Hampshire. The majestic scene captures the transitory beauty of nature\u2014the sun setting over a mountain, flowing water, and dappled light dancing through the trees\u2014in an intricate arrangement of vibrantly colored glass. See the Hartwell Memorial Window on view at the top of the Woman's Board Grand Staircase. ",

This catalogue brings together fresh perspectives on the artist: professor emerita of art history Sarah Burns reveals Albright\u2019s fascination with popular culture, and curator John P. Murphy explores his philosophy of ugliness. Painting conservator Kelly Keegan examines the artist\u2019s process and details how he achieved his unique painterly effects. A plate section of the 44 oil paintings in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, reproduced in high resolution to enable close looking, documents Albright\u2019s portrayal of the body\u2019s vulnerability to age, disease, and death. This includes a haunting series of self-portraits, one of which the artist made in his hospital bed three days before he died.   Edited by Sarah Kelly Oehler, with an introduction by Sarah Kelly Oehler and essays by Sarah Burns, Kelly Keegan, and John P. Murphy   This publication follows the exhibition Flesh: Ivan Albright at the Art Institute of Chicago (May 4\u2013Aug. 4, 2018).

            "copy": " Artist, poet, and revered national hero Malangatana Ngwenya (1936\u20132011) was a pioneer of modern art in Africa. Born in Mozambique, in southeast Africa, Malangatana depicted vivid allegorical scenes that draw from local religious practices, his cultural background, and life under colonial rule. This exhibition presented a selection of the artist\u2019s early paintings and drawings, made between 1959 and 1975. During this period Malangatana embarked on bold formal experiments that coalesced into a signature style characterized by dense compositions of human, animal, and monstrous figures. Malangatana\u2019s early career coincided with Mozambique\u2019s liberation struggle, in particular the armed resistance against the Portuguese in 1964, which was spearheaded by the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO). A Portuguese colony until 1975, Mozambique was among the last countries on the African continent to gain independence. Malangatana explored the rapidly changing world around him and addressed the country\u2019s social and political context in his paintings and drawings. These works exemplify the confluence of artistic innovation and political liberation that has shaped the history of modern art in Africa during the second half of the twentieth century.   A Hybrid Education Growing up in the village of Matalana, Malangatana encountered local art and craft traditions such as pottery, basketry, and painting before moving to Mozambique\u2019s capital, Louren\u00e7o Marques (now Maputo), to find work. Racial and social barriers of the colonial system limited black Mozambicans\u2019 access to formal art education. However, colonial policies promoting integration through assimilation\u2014pressuring the local black population to adopt the language, religion, and values of the Portuguese\u2014made art classes available to Malangatana at the Industrial School as well as the Art Center of the Colony of Mozambique in the late 1950s. At the Art Center, Malangatana encountered European styles of painting and met Portuguese architect Am\u00e2ncio d\u2019Alpoim Miranda \u201cPancho\u201d Guedes, who became a significant mentor and patron. Guedes encouraged him to leave the Art Center in order to avoid, in Malangatana\u2019s words, \u201cpollution\u201d by a formal education anchored in European painting traditions. Guedes gave Malangatana studio space and a salary, and commissioned a large number of paintings in the years prior to the artist\u2019s first solo exhibition in 1961.   Mythology and Religion Many of Malangatana\u2019s works from the late 1950s to the early 1970s refer to the artist\u2019s Mozambican roots, specifically his Ronga cultural background. The paintings in this section feature Ronga folklore, mythology, and healing rituals. Frequently the artist included Catholic symbols, signs of the pervasive Portuguese influence in Mozambique. Malangatana\u2019s exaggerated depictions of Ronga culture verge on the satirical, and his references to Christianity are similarly unflattering, suggesting a critique of Portuguese colonial rule. Malangatana\u2019s work demonstrates how he carefully balanced all aspects of life in Mozambique, from colonial influences and indigenous customs and practices to the struggle for independence. These experiences\u2014as well as his art education and the structures of patronage he was embedded in\u2014were layered and complex, subverting the clich\u00e9d notion of the self-taught African artist who, unspoiled by foreign influences, finds inspiration in \u201cprimitive\u201d practices and beliefs, an idea that persists in the art history and reception of modern African art.   Beyond Painting and Drawing Malangatana was also active as an educator, muralist, sculptor, and writer. He frequently published in journals and corresponded extensively with peers and friends all over the world. In addition, he wrote poetry, at times to accompany his paintings. Malangatana drew from personal aspects of his life in his poems, some of which were presented in an issue of the African literary journal Black Orpheus.   In 1995 Malangatana started building a cultural center in his birth village of Matalana to host art education and community events. The center\u2019s architecture combines the geometric logic and industrial materials of Bauhaus design\u2014inspired by the work of Malangatana\u2019s friend and patron Pancho Guedes, a renowned modern architect\u2014with elements such as circular windows, teeth, grids, and figurative wall reliefs (fig. 1). The grid design of this exhibition borrowed from the center\u2019s architecture (fig. 2).   Prison Drawings In 1965\u201366 the International and State Defense Police (PIDE) imprisoned Malangatana for 18 months because of his suspected involvement with the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO). While incarcerated, the artist began a series of drawings that he continued to work on after his release. The works capture the harsh conditions of life in Machava Central Prison through striking realism interrupted by fantasy scenes and dreams, their tension amplified by distorted bodies and monstrous figures. In 1961 mentor and patron Pancho Guedes introduced Malangatana to Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane, the founding president of the movement FRELIMO. Malangatana hoped to go abroad for international opportunities and exposure, but Mondlane encouraged him to stay in Mozambique and use art to contribute to the anti-colonial struggle. The artist\u2019s growing political awareness during the 1960s is apparent in the increasingly political tone of his work. He also expressed dissent by withdrawing from the 1964 exhibition Artists in Mozambique to protest Nelson Mandela\u2019s imprisonment and by refusing to represent Portugal at the 1965 S\u00e3o Paulo Art Biennial.   Artist of the Revolution After receiving a yearlong scholarship in 1971 from the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, Malangatana explored new media and pursued exhibition opportunities across Europe\u2014before returning permanently to Mozambique in 1974. There he continued experimenting in his art by elongating limbs, introducing opaque colors, and moving further into abstraction with thick outlines and flattened compositions. The titles of his works during this period, such as The Cry for Freedom and Remember Those Who Entered Bleeding? , reflect the focus on the war for independence and the sense of urgency Mozambicans felt at the time: in 1974 a ceasefire ended the war, followed by ten months of negotiations and the country\u2019s independence on June 25, 1975. After independence Malangatana was embraced as an artist of the revolution, and his work, including state-funded murals, was recognized as an exemplar of Mozambican culture. In addition to holding multiple roles within the newly formed government, he was appointed ambassador of peace during Mozambique\u2019s civil war (1977\u201392) and UNESCO Artist for Peace in 1997. He was also instrumental in establishing Mozambique\u2019s National Museum of Art in Maputo. Malangatana continued working as a civic leader, educator, poet, and, foremost, as an artist until his death in 2011. ",

        "copy": " The Art Institute of Chicago has been at the forefront of American museums in collecting and displaying modern art since the early twentieth century, and boasts an ongoing commitment to extending this vital legacy with research, publications, and exhibitions. In that spirit, a number of our curators came together in 2013 for a series of discussions exploring ideas about modern art, in particular the ways in which it manifests across our collections. This gave rise to the Modern Series, a set of three experimental, challenging, and provocative exhibitions and publications that are co-organized by curators across departments, with divergent but complementary specialties. The two previous iterations\u2014 Shatter Rupture Break (February 15\u2013May 3, 2015) and Go (February 23\u2013June 4, 2017)\u2014sought to present the museum\u2019s holdings in departments including Arts of the Americas, Modern and Contemporary Art, Photography and Media, and Textiles in fresh and exciting ways. Malangatana: Mozambique Modern (July 30\u2013November 16, 2020), the third and final project in the series, expands our understanding of modernism and modern art in a global context by bringing the work of celebrated Mozambican artist Malangatana Ngwenya (1936\u20132011) into conversation with our own international collection. It not only showcases the evolution in style and content within his early paintings and drawings, but also contextualizes his practice within the social and political conditions that framed the emergence of modern art in Mozambique and across the African continent. The exhibition also contributed to the cultivation of a more global perspective on artistic creation and its representation in the museum, both by providing the basis for this publication and, not least, by prompting us to acquire a painting and six works on paper by Malangatana for our permanent collection. Africa and its diasporas, with their deep history and wide geographical reach, occupy a prominent place within global art history and modern art that merits many more such efforts and programs in the years to come. Our colleagues\u2014notably Sarah Guernsey, Ann Goldstein, and Greg Nosan\u2014deserve my sincere gratitude for their continuing critical support for the Modern Series. But I am especially thankful to the exhibition\u2019s curators, Hendrik Folkerts, Felicia Mings, and Constantine Petridis, for introducing our staff and visitors to the fascinating milieu and work of Malangatana Ngwenya and for helping the Art Institute expand its representation of modern art from around the world. This exhibition would not have been possible without the generosity of the individuals and institutions in the United States, Portugal, and Mozambique who lent works from their collections. I am particularly grateful to the Malangatana Valente Ngwenya Foundation in Maputo for its invaluable loan of a significant number of paintings and drawings. Major funding for Malangatana: Mozambique Modern was provided by Sylvia Neil and Dan Fischel and the Alfred L. McDougal and Nancy Lauter McDougal Fund for Contemporary Art. Additional support is contributed by the Society for Contemporary Art through the SCA Activation Fund and the Miriam U. Hoover Foundation. Members of the Luminary Trust provide annual leadership support for the museum\u2019s operations, including exhibition development, conservation and collection care, and educational programming. The Luminary Trust includes an anonymous donor; Neil Bluhm and the Bluhm Family Charitable Foundation; Jay Franke and David Herro; Karen Gray-Krehbiel and John Krehbiel, Jr.; Kenneth Griffin; Caryn and King Harris, The Harris Family Foundation; Josef and Margot Lakonishok; Robert M. and Diane v.S. Levy; Ann and Samuel M. Mencoff; Sylvia Neil and Dan Fischel; Anne and Chris Reyes; Cari and Michael J. Sacks; and the Earl and Brenda Shapiro Foundation. Most importantly, I acknowledge with deepest thanks the intellectual and financial support of Sylvia Neil and Dan Fischel, who have provided crucial funding for the realization of this catalogue as well as the previous two in the Modern Series. Their ongoing commitment has enabled and encouraged our continued explorations into the possibilities of digital publication. James Rondeau President and Eloise W. Martin Director ",

This important volume, illustrated with more than one hundred vivid images, offers a new, in-depth look at the Pushtimarg and its rich aesthetic traditions, which are largely unknown outside of South Asia. Original essays by eminent scholars of Indian art focus on the style of worship, patterns of patronage, and artistic heritage that generated pichvais , large paintings on cloth designed to hang in temples, as well as other paintings for the Pushtimarg. In this expansive study, the authors deftly examine how pichvais were and still are used in the seasonal and daily veneration of Shrinathji, an aspect of Krishna as a child who is the chief deity of the temple town of Nathdwara in Rajasthan. Gates of the Lord introduces readers not only to the visual world of the Pushtimarg but also to the spirit of Nathdwara.

            "copy": " How do artists use faces, places, and inner spaces to express themselves and their world? We all know what a face looks like, but no two faces are exactly alike. In works of art, we find an endless parade of faces. They can help us discover how people from different cultures and times have seen themselves.   Just like faces, places are full of variety. The word \"place\" can mean anything from the corner of a drawer to a neighborhood, from a kitchen to a forest, from a backyard to the moon! By looking at landscapes and cityscapes, interiors and exteriors, we can become more aware of our everyday life and appreciate what surrounds us.   Faces and places are all around us, but what about inner spaces? Inner spaces can be found in our minds, private places created by our emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and imagination. Artists who depict their dreams or fantasies share something very personal that might resemble some of our own thoughts, or seem so strange that we want to know more.   All of the art featured in Faces, Places, and Inner Spaces is from the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, which houses more than 300,000 works within its 11 curatorial departments. This book includes such world-famous treasures as A Sunday on La Grande Jatte\u20141884 by Georges Seurat and American Gothic by Grant Wood. Though housed in one place, the artworks' universal themes and content make them accessible to every reader everywhere.   Jean Sousa   Hardcover $18.95   48 pages, 10 1/4 x 10 1/4 in. 38 ills.
