Brief: KAM Council plans trip to Chicago

The Krannert Art Museum Council is organizing a trip to
Chicago on April 12 to the Art Institute and the R.H. Love
Galleries.

The Art Institute has mounted a major international
retrospective of the French Impressionist painter Gustave
Caillebotte (1848-1894). The exhibition of approximately 125
works commemorates the 100th anniversary of his death. In
the United States, Caillebotte is well-known for his
masterpiece, "Paris Street: Rainy Day" (1877), which is a
keystone of the Art Institute's permanent collection.

The second destination of the trip is the Love Galleries in
Knickerson Mansion, which houses outstanding paintings and
sculptures dating from the colonial period through the 20th
century.

The bus will leave from campus at 7:45 a.m. and is expected
to return between 6:30 and 7 p.m.

The cost of $45 per person covers bus transportation, all
museum and gallery fees, including a Caillebotte slide
lecture, and light snacks served on the bus.

Reservations will be accepted through March 24. A non-member
of the Krannert Art Museum may attend for a $5 guest fee in
addition to the $45 trip cost.
