Tour the Magritte Exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago with PBKACA’s Professor Miguel de Baca
Prof. Miguel de Baca, the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Assistant Professor of the Humanities at Lake Forest College, will lead Phi Betes through the Art Institute’s blockbuster exhibition of the Surrealist painter René Magritte.
Prof. de Baca will focus on Magritte’s attitudes toward politics and psychology as he began his practice in the mid-1920s, and how it changed over the ensuing decade as Europe headed to war. You won’t want to miss this chance to have a guided tour of the summer’s most highly acclaimed exhibition in one of the world’s greatest art museums!
