At the Art Institute, 1951, Chicago. I remember the first time I saw A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat. I really had no idea of the size or scale of the painting, so when I turned that corner for the first time, it took my breath away. I make a point to visit it every time I’m at the AI; it’s like seeing an old friend.
