Journal Entry: Faces

I spent the day at an art museum.

This friend is a compadre from Mexico.

I went to the Art Institute of Chicago today. My mission was to capture interesting faces.

Here is an ancient sculpture of a little guy wearing a big mask.

I walked for hours and still didn’t visit all of the galleries, but I saw most of the highlights.

Edvard Munch says hi.

I was disappointed that the exhibits of art from Africa and pre-colonial America were closed. Instead, I visited an exhibit called Strange Realities: The Symbolist Imagination.

This Picasso face makes me tilt my head.

I liked recognizing some paintings from my past visits, years earlier. I also liked finding faces to share.

This face by Francis Bacon might haunt your dreams tonight.

I’m grateful for all the people that work in the museum. Thanks to all the artists too.
