Art & the Very Artful Bob
@ Smart Museum of Art, The University of Chicago
5550 S Greenwood Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Saturday, February 19th, from 2PM - 3PM
What do you see when you look at Bob Thompson’s “The Snook” or “The Wind”? Primary colors, abstract shapes? In his own words, Thompson expresses his interest “in the relationships of the figure and landscape—mass against movement.” But which is moving?
Join Museum Educator Jo McEntee for a tour and discussion of select pieces on display in the Smart Museum of Art’s exhibition “Bob Thompson: This House Is Mine,” followed by an interpretative art-making activity.
FREE, but space is limited for this in-person program. Please register in advance.
