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

Victorian parlor with an artificial flowers bell jar and a portrait of Queen Victoria.
Door with a shadowed chair in front and a glimpse of more flowers and a framed landscape print above.
A closer view of the artificial flowers through the door.
Bell Jar ftw
And did those sneaky corridor artificial flowers think they could hide from ME?!

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

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

Nighthawks, Edward Hopper (1942)
Still doing Mario Paint recreations of famous work. I'm loving this. I always forget how cool it is to render a background through glass.

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

Egyptian civilization formed in northern Africa along the banks of the Nile River over six thousand years ago. The region’s artists and artisans were highly trained in a visual vocabulary that endured for thousands of years—and which continues to influence artistic and architectural forms to this day. Although these ancient artists rarely signed their work, their talents were highly regarded, as evidenced by the images on the walls of many tombs depicting artists and craftsmen sculpting and polishing statues, producing intricate jewelry, and carving wooden furniture, among other artistic pursuits. The artworks they produced served a range of functions—given as gifts to their gods as acts of worship, placed in tombs to aid the dead in the afterlife, and used in daily life. Draftsmen, sculptors, and painters usually worked in teams attached to the royal court or one of Egypt’s many temples. They sometimes lived in distinct workmen’s villages, such as Deir el-Medina in modern Luxor, likely where a skilled artist produced the Sketch of a King, the Art Institute’s oldest drawing. These teams used a system of proportion and style that gave ancient Egyptian art its iconic look, but also allowed for innovation and the creation of exceptional works. In 1890 the Art Institute became the first Chicago museum to acquire an ancient Egyptian artifact: the Ushabti (Funerary Figurine) of Horudja. What is now the Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago and the Field Museum soon followed, forming collections of their own and establishing Chicago as a center for studying ancient Egypt in the United States. Today the Art Institute’s collection includes works that span the entirety of ancient Egyptian history—from about 4000 BCE to the first centuries CE. The museum’s holdings showcase ancient Egyptians’ mastery of many media and forms, including stone sculpture, copper alloy statuettes, faience figurines, gold amulets, wooden coffins, and painted cartonnage mummy masks.
