ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO
Chicago in the late nineteenth century experienced
a burst of cultural and philanthropic activity as
new universities, libraries, theaters, and museums
appeared on the landscape. After a series of evo-
lutions under different names, the Art Institute
of Chicago was established on Michigan Avenue
in 1882. Within about twenty years, the Art Insti-
tute was the largest art museum in the country.
The museum presently encompasses 400,000
square feet and includes a theater and film center.
Home to more than 300,000 works of art in
10 curatorial departments, the museum owns mas-
terpieces by Pablo Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-
Lautrec, Georges Seurat, Claude Monet, and
Constantin Brancusi.
The School of the Art Institute, founded by a
small group of artists in 1866, predates the museum
and is presently the largest art school in the coun-
try. Another Chicago art school, the Association of
Arts and Industries, was established in 1922 to
compete with European product design. The Asso-
ciation had hoped to establish a school with a focus
on design after attempts to join the School of the
Art Institute were unsuccessful. In 1937 the Asso-
ciation invited La ́szlo ́ Moholy-Nagy to head the
new design school. The New Bauhaus: American
School of Design was reformed and renamed as the
Institute of Design and eventually became part of
the Illinois Institute of Technology. In 1950 the
Institute of Design became the first American art
