On this viewing I finally got beyond all of the foreground wonderfulness and noticed the "background background." You've gotta say it twice to convey the layered aspects of it! Bloody awesome!
It was in the photo of Brian' s Bakery where I saw it first ... peeking out from the distance ... an image that reminded me not of Chicago, but of my old big city home town of Philadelphia! If you've ever seen the movie, "Rocky," there it is ... the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with its classic Greek Revival architecture. I've only been to Chicago once (to the National Housewares trade show) and didn't really get to see much of the city. But the Big American City of the Thirties feel is right there for all to see ... in spades!
The "atmosphere" that exists between the viewer, the foreground modeling in all of its astounding realistic glory, the backgrounds and then the background ... it's brilliant!
