Comments on: Keeping Your Balance in the Windy City: Report from Chicago https://artcritical.com/2011/10/09/chicago/ Tue, 25 Oct 2011 02:18:07 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.3 By: Brian Edmonds https://artcritical.com/2011/10/09/chicago/#comment-11201 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 02:18:07 +0000 https://artcritical.com/?p=19475#comment-11201 I have always felt the same way about Pearlstein. His figures seem cold and detached. I am sure that is his intent. Freud’s figures are also detached but the technique is of course much different.

I have always been a little disappointed in the Chicago art scene. When you visited the galleries were you impressed? Where would you rank Chicago among other U.S. cities? Even the current museum shows seem a little lackluster.
