On Arts

Life has eventually caught up with me: In the next few weeks I will be working on three term papers, one conference paper, and my MA thesis in parallel. The only question yet to be solved is how to master the art of time management. One inspirational starting point might be The Art Institute Museum of Chicago which harbors a sheer incredible number of modern and contemporary art pieces. I highly recommend the American art section which covers 150 years of American painting and boasts masterpieces such as Hopper's "Nighthawks" and Wood's "American Gothic." Not to be missed either is the fine collection of French contemporary art--or who would not like to see all the dots and strokes in Seurat's "La Grande Jatte"?
