Title: Welcome to Our City
Artist: Charles Demuth
Year: 1921
It is an oil on canvas.
The Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) is an encyclopedic art museum located in Chicago's Grant Park. It features a collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art in its permanent collection. Its holdings also include American art, Old Masters, Western decorative arts, Eastern art, modern and contemporary art, and architecture and industrial and graphic design. In addition, it houses the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries.
Tracing its history to a free art school and gallery founded in 1866, the museum is located at 111 South Michigan Avenue in the Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District. It is associated with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. At one million square feet, it is the second-largest art museum in the United States, after the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is an international treasure and one of my favorite museums on Earth.
