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. See GET vs. POST for more details.

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": "1adf2696-8489-499b-cad2-821d7fde4b33"
       },
       "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/2/1adf2696-8489-499b-cad2-821d7fde4b33
   

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

   https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/1adf2696-8489-499b-cad2-821d7fde4b33/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"
    },

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",

Nkishi is the local word for what we would typically refer to today as a power figure or a power object. And so what these objects are, literally are figures that serve as the receptacles of very powerful ingredients or substances that are literally contained within the object. And here among the Songye, as in many other parts in Southern Congo and elsewhere in Africa, those substances or ingredients are typically a concoction of materials from the animal world, from the plant world, from the mineral world, from the human world: nail clippings, bits of hair, stones that are found in nature, pieces of wood and bark, but also saliva, blood of animals that are offered, that are brewed together literally into a concoction, that is then inserted in specific body cavities. The belly is typically hollowed out and then contains these ingredients and then also the top of the skull.</p>\n<p>They're owned by leaders, by chiefs for the benefit of their community. They're invoked in order to deal with problems, conflicts such as epidemics, the threat of war in particular, but also the potential threat of metaphysical problems, like witches or other evildoers that harm the wellbeing of the community. These objects, in some ways, transcend the divide between the beautiful and the ugly, where the beauty of the carving, the powerful carving that represents an ancestor, it imitates all these attributes. And insignia of power and leadership is combined with a very powerful entity, with something that is embedded in the sculpture, and that because of its power, has both positive and negative connotations, both defensive and offensive qualities. And so the idea is that in these large-scale communities, Songye power figures, you have a combination of the beautiful and the ugly in one, in a new aesthetic category that I've come to label awesome art because it creates awe in the minds and in the eyes of the people who are confronted with these objects.</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": "Bessie Potter Vonnoh, Trailblazing Chicago Sculptor",
            "copy": " Her remarkable career, like those of many women artists, eventually faded from view. Let\u2019s look anew at Vonnoh (1872\u20131955).   In 1895 the museum acquired seven of Vonnoh's sculptures: singular female figures (save for one of a male) in contemporary dress, about 12 to 15 inches in height, including The Chrysanthemum Girl. Cast in plaster, the compositions were conceived to be finished works in a material oftentimes employed by artists as an intermediate step\u2014a sketch for a composition yet to be refined.   Vonnoh, in contrast, embraced plaster as an accessible medium with possibilities. It captured the rough, freely modeled surfaces of her statuettes (dubbed \u201cPotterines\u201d in her day), suggestive and appealingly tactile in form. For French artist Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Rafa\u00eblli, her three-dimensional works resonated with the canvases of modern plein-air painters. Vonnoh was, in his words, \u201can impressionist in plaster.\u201d   Today, her name remains unfamiliar to many art enthusiasts and scholars, but at the turn of the 20th century, Bessie Potter Vonnoh made headlines. A total of nine of her sculptures were in the Art Institute\u2019s holdings by 1901. And in 1914\u201315, the museum mounted a solo exhibition on the artist. A number of sculptures\u2014this time bronze casts\u2014were purchased by the museum out of the exhibition.   Vonnoh was born Bessie Onahotema Potter in St. Louis in 1872, her middle name meaning \u201cshe gives with an open hand\u201d in the language of the Choctaw Nation. (Vonnoh was white; her mother sought out a Native name, according to the artist.) A short time later, after the death of her father, she and her mother moved to Chicago. Vonnoh suffered from an unknown illness as a young child. The prescribed medical treatments left her immobile much of the time, which greatly stunted her growth, although she eventually regained her health. Years later, as she garnered artistic fame, much was made in the press about her diminutive stature in relation to her big talents.   Her achievements as a young female artist were considerable. As a schoolgirl in Chicago, sculpture drew her in. In 1886 at age 14, Vonnoh was already a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, working in the studio of sculptor and instructor Lorado Taft. Five years later, while wrapping up coursework, she stepped into the art world as a professional, exhibiting a portrait bust at the museum\u2019s Fourth Annual Exhibition of American Oil Paintings and Sculpture . Vonnoh had arrived.   Her path to success was certainly noteworthy, but Vonnoh was not alone. In late 19th-century Chicago, networks of and opportunities for (largely white) female professionals were on the rise. Women studied at the School of the Art Institute in strong numbers at the time of Vonnoh\u2019s tenure. In 1892 female students surpassed male students six to one. And the school\u2019s faculty mirrored that drive toward professionalism: painter Alice Kellogg (later Tyler), a graduate of the program, became an instructor there in 1881, and by the following decade women comprised almost one-third of the faculty. Women artists were on the rosters of early exhibitions at the Art Institute, including various annuals for contemporary American art, Chicago artists, and students of the school. (To be sure, the percentage of female exhibitors remained small, but a nexus of artists demonstrated that it could be done, despite persistent obstacles.) Additionally, women in Chicago created their own organizations, such as the Bohemian Art Club (later the Palette Club), whose annual exhibitions were held at the museum beginning in 1883\u2014just four years after the founding of the Art Institute itself.   Her training completed, Vonnoh seized an important opportunity: executing public commissions in sculpture for the city\u2019s 1893 World\u2019s Columbian Exposition. She, along with a cadre of local female sculptors including Julia Bracken (later Wendt) and Janet Scudder, who had likewise studied with Taft, assisted on projects for the fair\u2019s Horticulture Building. Additionally, Vonnoh made her mark with individual contributions to the Illinois State Building and the Fine Arts exhibition.   Establishing a studio in 1894, Vonnoh carved out a niche in Chicago\u2019s artistic life, honing in on what would become her celebrated forms: domestically scaled sculptures of contemporary women. Rapidly sketched, they were genre studies as well as portraits, evoking a fleeting moment or a familiar activity.   In the mid-1890s, Vonnoh\u2019s sculptures were in high demand. She could produce plaster casts from her clay models in large editions and offer them at prices accessible to middle-class patrons. The artist experimented with the finish of her plasters through tinting\u2014applying soft, matte color to portions of an object to heighten the visual interest of its active surfaces, as she did in An American Girl .   In 1895 the seven plasters by Vonnoh that entered the Art Institute were The Chrysanthemum Girl , An American Girl , Miss F. , William , Mildred , Evelyn , and A Summer Girl (the first three were tinted sculptures). The set was purchased and presented to the museum by the Arch\u00e9 Club, a local women\u2019s group dedicated to the study of art and history. Records for the acquisition note, \u201cThe Arch\u00e9 Club gave $100 to be devoted to the work of a woman sculptor in Chicago.\u201d Here again is an example of a (modest) structure of support for female professionals in the city in the late 19th century.   With these acquisitions, Vonnoh became the first named woman sculptor\u2014and only the second woman artist\u2014represented at the Art Institute (Annie C. Shaw was the first, with paintings acquired in 1892 and 1894). Neither Rosa Bonheur nor Mary Cassatt, for instance\u2014artists whose names and reputations have fared much better over the last century\u2014had a work in the permanent collection yet (not until 1901 and 1910, respectively).   After her early achievements in Chicago, Bessie Potter Vonnoh set her sights further afield, traveling abroad and eventually settling in New York, where she married painter Robert Vonnoh in 1899. Her pace did not slow. Attracting patrons with deeper pockets, she was then able to translate her sculptures into bronze, a new challenge.   Her 1914\u201315 exhibition at the Art Institute featured thirty-three sculptures, largely in bronze. Examples of her work in this medium are what can be found in the collection today. Sadly, none of her plasters remain at the Art Institute. When seven bronzes were purchased in 1915, Vonnoh requested that her earlier plasters be returned, and the museum obliged. We can assume that the artist felt the bronzes better represented her mature work. The Art Institute currently holds five of her sculptures.   Vonnoh\u2019s fascinating story comes to light when we take time to experience her sculptures and comb the archives. The dividends are many: we come to understand better our own institutional histories, elevate and celebrate objects too long neglected, and carve a different path forward in the galleries. \u2014Annelise K.

            "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 ",

        "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 ",

            "copy": " But these works can do that and so much more. They can communicate and challenge ideas, values, and histories, and\u2014as seen on this tour\u2014they can take a variety of forms.   Jordan Casteel's Barack (2020) On view in Gallery 295   New York\u2013based Jordan Casteel is known for her expressive and sensitive depictions of people she encounters in her everyday sphere. Her portrait of the former president, Barack , was painted to accompany a 2020 interview in the Atlantic with Obama. As a painting of an iconic individual, Barack is somewhat of an outlier in her body of work. It is also, unlike her other portraits, based on a photograph that was not taken by the artist herself. And yet the painting process remained intimate and empathic: as Casteel remarked, \u201cThere is another level of \u2018knowing\u2019 that occurs when you take the time to paint the likeness of someone.\u201d (Fun fact: Chicago\u2019s Whitney Young High School on the Near West Side\u2014the school from which Michelle Obama graduated\u2014is named after Casteel\u2019s grandfather.)   Felix Gonzalez-Torres\u2019s Untitled (1989) On view in Gallery 293   This self-portrait by Cuban-American artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres, takes the form of words and dates that run across the top of the gallery walls close to the ceiling. Merging private histories with collective memory, the artist combined historical events and enigmatic personal milestones. Gonzalez-Torres first realized the work in 1989 and continued to change it with each iteration of the installation until his premature death in 1996. By the artist\u2019s instruction, the work can continue to shift in ongoing manifestations, anchored in its own history yet also perpetually changing.   Shepard Fairey's Barack Obama \u201cHope\u201d Poster (2008) On view in Gallery 285   Street artist, graphic designer, and activist Shepard Fairey created this visionary portrait of Barack Obama in 2008 and distributed the poster as a form of grassroots activism. Fairey created other versions of the stylized, stenciled design, with the words \u201cchange\u201d and \u201cprogress\u201d under Obama\u2019s upturned face and the Sol Sender\u2013 designed campaign logo, but the final \u201chope\u201d version became famous around the world when it was adopted as one of the official images of Obama\u2019s 2008 presidential campaign. New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl called the poster \u201cthe most efficacious American political illustration since \u2018Uncle Sam Wants You.\u2019\u201d   Solidus (Coin) of Empress Irene (797\u2013802) On view in Gallery 153   Throughout history, coins have been one of the most prevalent mediums for portraits of powerful people. This rare example depicts Empress Irene, one of only three female rulers to hold sole power during the Byzantine Empire. Here Irene wears a crown with pendilia (long pearl adornments) and a jewel-encrusted loros (an imperial scarf) and holds in her hands the globus cruciger (cross-topped orb) and cross-topped staff\u2014all signs of male imperial power and dominion over the Christian world. Irene left her mark on the male-dominated world of Byzantine politics. She came to power by blinding and exiling her son and also reversed her husband\u2019s previous policies. And because of her gender, her reign was challenged by the Christian West when Charlemagne was crowned Holy Roman Emperor, starting a long-lasting controversy about rightful claims to imperial authority.   Elizabeth Catlett\u2019s Sharecropper (1952, printed 1970) On view in Gallery 263   Considered Elizabeth Catlett\u2019s most famous work, Sharecropper is not a portrait of a specific person but rather a heroic depiction of the everywoman sharecropper, an embodiment of the strength and persistence of Black tenant farmers in the American South. Sharecropping was a legacy of slavery that required farmers to pay for the land they rented with part of their crop; as a result, they often faced lifelong debt. Catlett made this print in Mexico at the Taller de Gr\u00e1fica Popular (People\u2019s Graphic Arts Workshop). Influenced by the spirit of activism at the workshop, she produced images of Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman as well as of everyday African American women persevering amid hardship.   Portrait Vessel of a Ruler , Moche (100 BCE/500 CE) On view in Gallery 136   Ceramic portrait vessels produced by artists of the Moche culture are the only discernible examples of portraiture, in a Euro-American sense, from the ancient Andes. This large and particularly fine example probably depicts an elite male, notable for his proud and commanding expression. His status is also likely articulated through his painted face and the headcloth and intricately woven band that he wears. Vessels such as this were often placed in burials as funerary offerings. They may also have been sent as emblems of royal authority, or even emissaries, to other elite individuals in nearby settlements.   Mbeudjang\u2019s Portrait of Metang, the 10th King of Batufam (1912\u201314) On view in Gallery 137   Carved by the eastern Bangwa artist Mbeudjang, this figure represents Metang, an early 20th-century ruler of Batufam, a kingdom in the Cameroon Grassfields. He wears a tall, pointed hat reserved for royals; is seated on a one-legged stool that evokes prestige; and holds a gourd vessel and a buffalo-horn drinking cup\u2014two of the most important regalia among kingdoms in this region. Though called \u201cportraits,\u201d commemorative figures like this are not intended to be lifelike renderings. Rather they are idealized images of kingship and served as valued partners to rulers in protecting their realm and its people.   Vincent van Gogh\u2019s Self-Portrait (1887) On view in Gallery 241   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.   John Philip Simpson\u2019s The Captive Slave (Portrait of Ira Aldridge) (1827) On view in Gallery 220   This painting by John Philip Simpson is both a powerful abolitionist statement and a striking portrait of the celebrated Shakespearean actor Ira Aldridge. A freeborn American, Aldridge became the first Black man to play Othello on the London stage in 1833. Simpson\u2019s painting highlights Aldridge\u2019s gifts of expression as a tragic actor. He draws particular attention to Aldridge\u2019s upward gaze with a glint of white in the eye. His artful application of highlights is also noticeable on the shackles and Aldridge's fingernails.   Bisa Butler\u2019s The Safety Patrol (2018) On view in Gallery 215   Bisa Butler often finds inspiration for her portrait quilts in historical photographs. The spark for this work was found in an image taken in 1949 by Charles Harris that features seven school children, including a central safety patrol officer, waiting to cross the street. Butler\u2019s vibrant textile interpretation considers the potential of these children as future caretakers of the world. As the artist has noted, the letters OK printed diagonally on the safety officer\u2019s shirt and the yellow eye on his left side simultaneously ward off evil forces and forecast that the children are prepared for the future and will be alright.

            "copy": " Explore all the works by Chicago artists in the museum's collection.   Dawoud Bey   Photographer Dawoud Bey has called Chicago home since 1998. While known for his color photography and striking portraits, for this project, Bey returned to black-and-white printing of his early years and turned his attention on an unpeopled landscape: homes and patches of land that are understood to have formed part of the Underground Railroad. For the title of the series, Night Coming Tenderly, Black , Bey was inspired by the closing couplet of a short poem \u201cDream Variations\u201d by Langston Hughes: \u201cNight coming tenderly / Black like me.\u201d   Gladys Nilsson   Among the most celebrated watercolorists working today, longtime Chicagoan Gladys Nilsson studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and has taught at the school for over 25 years. As a member of the artist group known as the Hairy Who , Nilsson helped inject new and unique energy into the city's art landscape. Her mischievous scenes of figures interacting and engaging in various pursuits, including disguise and voyeurism, express her sense of humor and boundless curiosity. This watercolor, originally commissioned by SAIC to be used as an advertising poster, depicts playfully arranged crowds of students painting, listening to music, chatting, and hanging out in many different spaces.   Jeanne Gang   Internationally renowned for her Aqua Tower , Jeanne Gang has designed buildings across the world, and many in and around Chicago, including the Writers' Theatre, several residential buildings, two boat houses along the river, the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo, and a community center in the Auburn-Gresham neighborhood. Gang designed this space to provide a welcoming, familiar space for Chinese immigrants arriving in Chicago. Finding subtle ways to incorporate traditional Chinese colors and signs within a modern, airy space, Gang organized the small structure to maximize the intergenerational connections common within the Chicago Chinese community.   Kerry James Marshall   For the last three decades, artist Kerry James Marshall has applied themes from art history to examine and recontextualize the representation of black culture. In his painting series Vignette Suite, Marshall used characteristics of the fanciful 18th-century French Rococo style and projected positive images of black life, centered around the notion of love. He focused his series on the air-borne embrace of a man and woman and surrounded them with various emblems of black affirmation, including a Black Power clenched fist, hands breaking through chains, the Black Liberation flag, African artifacts, and a panther. The result is both a multifaceted and evolving depiction of love and black identity as well as a powerful reinterpretation of a traditional art form.   Richard Hunt   One of the most important sculptors of our time, Richard Hunt was raised in Chicago and graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Still in the city today, Hunt works out of a repurposed Chicago Railway Systems electrical substation built in 1909, creating both towering sculptures and more intimate constructions. His 2020 installation on the Art Institute\u2019s Bluhm Family Terrace features the title work, Scholar\u2019s Rock or Stone of Hope or Love of Bronze , a monumental bronze sculpture that Hunt created over six years through a durational process of adding, removing, and reshaping the work. Read more about this installation in a conversation between Hunt and curator Jordan Carter.   Anne Wilson   Anne Wilson , the Chicago-based artist and professor emeritus of Fiber and Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, defies easy categorization. Working with everyday materials such as table linens, bed sheets, human hair, lace, thread, glass, and wire, Wilson considers the inequities of factory labor, the impact of globalization, domestic and social rituals, and themes of time and loss. For her Dispersions series, Wilson created 26 works from fragments of heirloom damask tablecloths and napkins. Wilson opened up a damaged area in each piece of cloth into a perfect circle and embellished the edges with colored thread and hair. These are ambiguous material images, suggesting the trace from a gunshot or a celestial explosion and evoking the mortal and physical alongside the transcendent and unknowable. Wilson draws our attention to the contrasts between the machine-made cloth and the intricate hand stitching; creating tension between the artist's intervention and its foundation, and between the formal tone-on-tone design of the white cloth and the small bursts of color and texture dispersed around damaged cloth.   Amanda Williams   Currently based in the South Side neighborhood of Bridgeport, Amanda Williams was born and raised in the Chicagoland area. Her work blends her architectural training with traditional art approaches to confront issues of race, value, and urban space. For her most famous project, Color(ed) Theory , which debuted at the Chicago Architecture Biennial in 2015, Williams painted eight soon-to-be-demolished houses in Chicago's Englewood using a palette of colors found in products and services marketed primarily toward Black people, such as Flamin\u2019 Red Hots. Drawing attention to the underinvestment in African American communities around the city, the series asks: What color is poverty? What color is gentrification?   Pope.L   Known for his groundbreaking performances as well as for text-based drawings and paintings that disrupt the conventions of cultural identity and explode traditional artistic categories, artist Pope.L has lived in Chicago for over a decade and has been a professor at University of Chicago since 2010. The title of this work, Finnish Painting evokes a strangely specific yet enigmatic sense of national identity while also offering a play on words, the imperative to \u201cfinish painting.\u201d This work presents the barely legible text of a poem, the last word of which is \u201cdecode\u201d\u2014as if acknowledging that to see, read, and understand others is always a struggle, and that meaning is often fluid. Another text-based feature is the attribution at the lower right, \u201cR. Ryman,\u201d referring to Minimalist artist Robert Ryman , whose monochromatic white paintings were often layered color underpainting and who treated his signature as an important visual element within a painting\u2019s composition, never simply as authorization of a finished canvas. Perhaps this Pope.L work reveals what might lie beneath Ryman\u2019s white surfaces.   Stanley Tigerman   Architect, designer, and provocateur Stanley Tigerman \u2014a lifelong Chicagoan\u2014made it his mission to push the city's architecture beyond the then reigning style of the modernist glass box. His design for the Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Skokie integrates symbolic gestures of Judaism in various ways\u2014the site plan, materials, and formal language. This model for an early scheme shows how the museum is composed of two wings\u2014the darkened wing points six degrees toward the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and the lighter education center toward the rising sun. He suggested that the use of such symbolism serves an act of defiance to those who would eliminate a particular culture and its history.   Bethany Collins   Originally from Alabama, Bethany Collins currently lives in Chicago making work that explores the deep-rooted connections between race and language. In The Birmingham News, 1963 , Collins presents 18 embossed and distressed front pages from issues of the Birmingham News published during 1963, a seismic year for the civil rights movement. While most national media outlets were covering the area\u2019s sit-ins, demonstrations, and police brutality, the Birmingham News did not, supposedly to subdue racial tension. By embossing, darkening, and distressing these pages, Collins transforms them into a kind of memorial to events ignored by the Birmingham press and demonstrates how authored and institutional texts are always politicized.   Terry Evans   A Kansas City native, Terry Evans moved to Chicago in 1994 and has lived here since. After focusing on the Midwestern prairie for many years, Evans took to the skies and photographed the city from above for her Revealing Chicago project. From backyard pools to the city jail, the lakefront to industrial areas, Evans sought to show \"the diversity and complexity of Chicago.\" She lamented that she \"hadn't even come close. This is an incomplete portrait, a fraction of a second in the life of Chicago, and every picture contains more stories than the image reveals.\"   Judy Ledgerwood   A longtime Midwesterner and decades-long Chicagoan, Judy Ledgerwood paints monumental abstractions that explore both the perceptual effects and the politics of color, luminosity, pattern, and scale. After earning her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1984, she turned to traditionally \u201cfeminine\u201d pastels and decorative forms in order to challenge the stereotypes of gendered approaches to painting. Ledgerwood borrowed this work\u2019s title, So What , from a 1959 \u201ccool period\u201d jazz composition by Miles Davis. Made during winter, the painting features pale colors evocative of the season and at first appears quiet and serene. Yet sustained looking reveals subtle modulations in the blue-green, yellow, and white circles, which seem to alternately recede and advance across the work\u2019s surface. ",

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. ",

He came to Chicago in 1906 to serve on the faculty of the Chicago Normal College. He was hired as director of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1916 and served in that post until 1921, at which time he left to become director of the Denver Art Museum. Later positions included the directorship of the Worcester Art Museum and cChairman of the Art Department for the City Colleges of New York. While at the Art Institute of Chicago, George Eggers was responsible for creating the extension program, inaugurating the international water color exhibitions, and planning for the first permanent installation of the museum's collection. Scope and Content The records of George Eggers consist primarily of correspondence from his tenure as director, 1916\u20131921. No records from the first two years of his directorship have yet been located. The records begin in 1918 and continue through 1921. They contain such routine museum business as acquisitions, lecture programs, and exhibition arrangements. Correspondents include artists, donors, dealers, scholars, and staff from other art institutions. ",

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.
