Another of the more inspiring works I saw in the Art Institute of Chicago were Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's oil paintings. Here are some photos I took of the ones in the display.
Toulouse-Lautrec's work contrasted so heavily from the rest of the art in the corner of the exhibit hall that it was displayed in, I was drawn to it quite quickly. While being extremely emotive, his art has a sketchy quality to it, and he did a series of pieces for the Moulin Rouge which I really enjoy as well.
For more information on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, check out this website http://www.toulouse-lautrec-foundation.org/ and do a google image search. It's worth it!
