Look Inside
Art Institute, Chicago, IL
MArch 9, 2013

I really loved visiting the Art Institute, for my second time, on the recent Midwest trip. I saw lots of neat pieces including this beautiful Rauschenberg Combine - Short Circuit (Combine Painting), 1955. I have always liked his work, and collages/combines in general, but this one had a unique charm. Perhaps because it invites the viewer to look closer?

My good friend, Jen, sent each member of our book club a handmade bookmark. Mine arrived last night and I adore it. Here it is marking my place in The Wizard of Oz.

Jen’s etsy store is here.

A new version of my Anna Wintour. I know you won’t be able to scan it or maybe even see it, but there’s a QR code embedded in her sunglasses that reads: COUTURE LIFE. :D

Had a great time at the DeYoung today. Took this shot of a detail of Renoir’s “Strawberries” - part of the Paley Collection exhibition. I recommend seeing that and the Danny Lyon photography exhibit.

Art in Transit - Literary Journeys by Owen Smith

The series “Literary Journeys” depicts BART riders immersed in books by Dashiell Hammett, Jack London and Amy Tan, with scenes from the books coming to life in their imaginations. “I love the idea that there could be something interesting and different to look at while you are waiting for a train,” Smith says.
