HISTORY ABOUT AT MUSEUM

Image
   HISTORY OF THE CHICAGO ART MUSEUM The Art Institute of Chicago was founded as both a museum and school for the fine arts in 1879, a critical era in the history of Chicago as civic energies were devoted to rebuilding the metropolis that had been destroyed by the Great Fire of 1871.                The Art Institute found its permanent home in 1893, when it moved into a building constructed on what is recognized today as  the traditional homelands of the Council of Three Fires —the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples.

Philosophy of art is the study of the nature of art concepts such as interpretation, representation, expression, and form. The theory of beauty of A. Darwinians gives a clear understanding that beauty is a word that can't be defined by human understanding and therefore beauty comes from our emotional feelings and from our minds, eye, ears, and finger.  In addition, made us understand that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and what moves you personally.
