Labor Day

On Labor Day, we decided we'd better

check out the Roy Lichtenstein exhibit.

It was the very last day the display would

be at the Art Institute.

On the way there, we ran into a protest

in support of the Chicago teachers.  Folks everywhere

were wearing red shirts in support of the 

Chicago Teachers' Union.  The best sign I saw said:

IGNORANCE IS A 

DISEASE

KNOWLEDGE IS THE 

CURE

EDUCATION IS THE

TREATMENT

That's perfect!  You can't get much more spot on than that. 

Even Miller's Pub was totally full for lunch
with supporters crowded in to take a well-deserved break.

 

We spent the majority of our Labor Day waiting in 

various lines - the line at Miller's Pub, the line to get

into the Art Institute, and the really-really long line

to get into the special exhibit.  But, even

after all that waiting we had a good time.  It's fun

to see pop art up close and personal and full size.

I had no idea Roy Lichtenstein's career was so extensive.

The exhibit was much bigger than I thought it would be.

It was a primary color explosion!
