  • Art Institute of Chicago
    Art Institute of Chicago The Art Institute Of Chicago has over 300,000 works of art An internationally renowned institution, the Art Institute of Chicago is a museum that houses art collections from around the world. Its origins can be traced to the Chicago Academy of Design, which was established by local artists in 1866 and was restored as the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts in 1879 . The Art Institute took its present name in 1882 and was moved to its current building in 1893, covering an entire city block between Jackson and Monroe streets. The museum contains over 300,000 works of art and is noted for its collections of 19th century French paintings and 20th century paintings and sculpture. The extensive collection keeps visitors occupied for many hours. Children too can learn and have an enjoyable time at the Kraft Education Center. A new large wing had been added to the museum in 2009 and the works of famous artists such as Kandinsky began to be seen in the modern extension designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano. Edward Kemeys’ lions at the entrance of the institute are one of the most beloved and recognizable sculptures in the city. New amenities as well as an interior garden have also been added during the expansion. Art Institute Of Chicago Map Art Institute Of Chicago Facts A particularly well-known painting in the museum is La Grande Jatte by Seurat. Increased commitment to exhibit challenging contemporary work was first indicated by the innovative gallery owner Katherine Kuh. Chicago Tribune once reported that Kemeys said the lions at the entrance of the building are meant to guard it.

  • The Van Ackeren Collection in the Greenlease Gallery at Rockhurst University by © 2017 Loren Whittaker
    An American Jesuit Treasury of Religious Art: The Van Ackeren Collection in the Greenlease Gallery at Rockhurst University By © 2017 Loren Whittaker Submitted to the graduate degree program in the Kress Foundation Department of Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-chair: Anne D. Hedeman, Ph.D. Co-chair: Sally J. Cornelison, Ph.D. Douglas Dow, Ph.D. Philip Stinson, Ph.D. John Pultz, Ph.D. ____________________________ Heba Mostafa, Ph.D. Date Defended: 14 April 2017 ii The dissertation committee for Loren Whittaker certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: An American Jesuit Treasury of Religious Art: The Van Ackeren Collection in the Greenlease Gallery at Rockhurst University Co-Chair: Anne D. Hedeman, Ph.D. Co-Chair: Sally J. Cornelison, Ph.D. Date Approved: 14 April 2017 iii Abstract On 13 October 1967 Virginia P. and Robert C. Greenlease donated a walnut crucifix by French sculptor César Bagard to Rockhurst University’s Jesuit community in Kansas City, Missouri. This gift initiated a collaboration of thirty years between Mrs. Greenlease and Rockhurst’s president, Father Maurice E. Van Ackeren, S.J. Together they sought to enhance the university and its students’ spiritual and educational experience by making fine religious works of art accessible for viewing on campus. Virginia financed the purchases that Father Van Ackeren made, the sum of which came to be known as the Van Ackeren Collection of Religious Art. Throughout their endeavor, the two took advantage of the expertise of the curators of the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City, Missouri (now known as The Nelson- Atkins Museum of Art) and employed that institution as an intermediary station for evaluating works before they were purchased.
