Friday Featured Art: Lions
A pair of bronze lions greets visitors to the Art Institute of Chicago. They were sculpted by Edward Kemeys and installed at the Art Institute's Michigan Avenue entrance in 1894. They always look so solemn to me, but I know that at Christmastime they are draped with wreathes, and when the Bears went to the Super Bowl they got to wear football helmets!
