Today I had the privilege of not only visiting the Art Institute but also tagging along on a fabulous tour. In keeping with the upcoming "holiday", or Hallmark marketing ploy, depending on your perspective, the theme of the tour was "Love in Paris". Our tour guide, Paula, was very knowledgeable and featured a variety of paintings and even one sculpture, all in keeping with the love theme.
Full disclosure: I'm a board member of the affiliate group that organized this tour, so I'm a bit biased. Regardless, I had a great time on the tour and I think events like this provide a tremendous opportunity to learn more about art and the context in which artists worked. The next tour is coming in March. Check the website for more info.
