Attitude of Defiance
The two bronze lions that flank the Michigan Avenue entrance were made for the Art Institute's opening at its current location in 1893. They were a gift from Mrs. Henry Field. Created by sculptor Edward Kemeys. The lions are not identical and thus are named for their poses: The south lion stands "In an Attitude of Defiance."
