Visual Interlude: Winslow Homer

On Saturday, while on a prize jury for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I marveled at the block-long line snaking out the museum's front door. Chances are that the queue was waiting for tickets to see the museum's Edward Hopper exhibition. But I'm looking forward in particular to the exhibition "Watercolors by Winslow Homer: The Color of Light," which is also on view at the museum until May 10.
