cblj_backupThat last post on LJ was a little obscure, wasn't it? Contextless ducks. Ducks are one of the funniest animals though, and as a few of you pointed out, I have mine in a row.
This post is about ducks and dicks, actually. I've heard back from Suzanne, who I think I can confidently state at this point is my source within the Art Institute Museum. :D Our exchange over ApolloAnd His Metaphorical Dick Slaying Python generated another post on the ARTIC blog, including a link back to my original post which, as Suzanne pointed out, is getting a little meta. But at the ARTIC blog post you can see a closeup of the defaced Apollo and his massive quiver, in case you were curious.
Every time I go to the exhibit I see something I missed before. This latest time, I saw a reliquary with the actual relic still inside, which a) WAS AWESOME, I've never seen a piece of a saint before, and b) I guess means when I visit the Art Institute Museum I see bones everywhere. But honestly, if you're in Chicago from now through July 10th, you really should try to catch the exhibit. Tomorrow is a free-admission day all day long!
Go on. You know you want to play hooky to go to the art museum and look at Renaissance peen.
And if you're really feeling conservative, they also have American Gothic, you know.
AHRT!

Date: 2011-07-08 10:26 pm (UTC)...I had an art history class where we spent an entorie class period talking about the incestous underpinnings of this piece. I came out of that class with an A and the firm comviction that most really interesting art is about sex.
