A Guided Tour of the René Magritte Exhibit
at the Art Institute of Chicago
with the Institute's Elizabeth McGoey

Magritte: The Mystery of the Ordinary, 1926-1938

The Magritte Show opened recently at the Art Institute (Aic). Think of a bowler hat, a pipe, or clouds, and the name of Belgian Surrealist painter René Magritte instantly comes to mind.  The exhibition has previously delighted visitors at the MOMA in New York and the Menil Collection in Houston and earned high praise. 

Elizabeth McGoey is a Research Associate in the Department of Medieval to Modern European Painting and Sculpture at the AIC and has worked wit curator Stephanie D'Allessandro on the Magritte exhibition.  She has held positions at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and now the Art Institute of Chicago. 

As a prelude to the tour, join fellow Harvardians for a martini, a coke or whatever at the Cliff Dwellers.  Stroll the Club's exquisite open terrace with one of the most spectacular views in our City, visit with other attendees and hear an introduction to the exhibit by Ms. McGoey at the Club. 

Reservations are limited and are on a first come basis.  Reservations will be held at the door.
