Disturb the Universe: Modernism across Europe
Fullerton Hall
Art Institute of Chicago
111 South Michigan Avenue
Free admission
Poets W. B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, Rainer Maria Rilke, and others revolutionized poetic practices as novelists such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Thomas Mann delved into their characters’ minds. Artists, including Beauford Delaney and Max Beckmann, created self-portraits that reflected the stresses and strains of a modern age. Goodman Theatre actors bring the literary passages to life.
