Chicago (That Toddlin’ Town)
Chicago (That Toddling Town)
As many of us already know, art is the highest form of art. There are few works of art as high, however, as George Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. This piece was gifted to the Art Institute of Chicago during the first half of the twentieth century. The painting was in the possession of collector/artist Frederic Bartlett and was given to the institute in memory of his second wife, Helen Birch Bartlett. Clearly a pinnacle of the artistic form, and also the inspiration for Stephen Sondheim’s powerful musical Sunday in the Park with George.

I did not go to this gallery, since it just stopped existing, but I did run into my high school friend Lucia who was in charge of it while getting brunch with my li’l homie Max in Logan Square.
This gallery The Suburban in Oak Park, a nearby Chicago suburb, is pretty chill.
