It was not on display for a while but I think most of it is back in the galleries again.<\/p>\n<p>2.)\tMy favorite bronze sculptor is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.henry-moore.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Henry Moore<\/a>. I really want to see the Henry Moore outdoor sculpture park on my next trip to the England. I used to play and climb on the \u201cNuclear Energy\u201d sculpture at U of C when I was a child. The other Moore that I like is the sundial sculpture outside of the Planetarium.<\/p>\n<p>3.)\tI love the WPA era murals and Illinois has a lot of them. The Chicago Conservation Center, where I completed my internship has undertaken the huge task of restoring many of these incredible examples of government-sponsored works. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpamurals.com\/chiparks.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More info can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>4.)\tMy favorite painter is Mark Rothko but I\u2019m also a big fan of Latin American art.<\/p>\n<p>5.)\tLastly, <a href=\"http:\/\/pegasus.luc.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Loyola\u2019s Pegasus Catalog<\/a> has a great selection of e-books available in their entirety online on the topic of Art History, a broad area that covers costume, painting, architecture, design, psychology, archaeology, photography, medicine, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To close out 2013, we asked library staff members to write lists\u2013of anything they want.
