On October 16th, I visited the Art Institute of Chicago....
Pictured above is Gustave Caillebotte's "Paris Street; Rainy Day" from 1877. I was really drawn to this painting because of the depicting of rain. I haven't seen any painting using his brush technique to capture this atmospheric condition. This was one of the first painting that really drew me to it and you can see by the people in the picture that it does the same for many others.
Pictured above is Georges Seurat's "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" from 1884. I really was drawn to this painting because of the use of dots to create this scene. From far away you see the whole image but when you get close you see his style for achieving this image. I think it's such an awesome idea.
Lastly, I chose Francis Picabia's "Edtaonisl (Ecclesiastic)" from 1913. This was the first paintings I saw when I walked into the next room and it really stood out to me. The use of bright and contrasting colors and shapes really captured my eye. It also gives a great sense of moment throughout the piece. I really like more abstract/geometric painting.
