First saw a sample of Marc Chagall’s stained glass windows in a magazine when I was a kid.  I was captured by all the color and whimsy and searched out and admired his paintings too. Chagall, 1887-1985, is still one of my favorite artists.

The Art Institute of Chicago has announced that “Marc Chagall’s America Windows “ has been restored and returned to their rightful place. “The six-panel work celebrates the country as a place of cultural and religious freedom, detailing the arts of music, painting, literature, theater, and dance…debuting at the Art Institute in 1977 and made forever famous less than ten years later by an appearance in the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the “Chagall Windows,” as they are more popularly known, hold a special place in the hearts of Chicagoans. “
