Those close to the Windy City next month will want to make a stop at the Art Institute of Chicago for a two-for-one bargain: Watercolors by Winslow Homer: The Color of Light and Edward Hopper (both on display Feb. 16–May 10; $20 nonmember tickets allow entry to both exhibitions).

Here’s what the Art Institute says about the Homer exhibition:
“Twenty-five spectacular Homer watercolors in the Art Institute’s collection have been carefully analyzed using the latest conservation technologies. The works and the revealing associated research will be displayed in the context of over 100 watercolors, drawings, and oil paintings that explore the artist’s most important subjects and sites and his interest in color and light.”

And the Hopper show, touted as “the first comprehensive presentation of Hopper's work to be seen in American museums outside of New York in a quarter century,” will no doubt captivate as well. For more information, go to the Art Institute’s website.
