Lost in Art

I went to the web-site of the Art Institute of Chicago. I wish I could visit the Girodet: Romantic Rebel exhibit that is ongoing until April 30.

When I was able to go there too many years ago, there was two paintings that I can still envision. I usually don't like Realism but Edward Hopper is a master. I can think of stories for the people in his Nighthawks.










People in the Sun by Edward Hopper


Claude Monet is usually my style. His Garden at Sainte-Adresse is one of my favorites.





Hopper, the Realist, and Monet, the Impressionist, both manage to capture the sheer joy of basking in the sun.
