So, it's not exactly Roy Lichenstein's cribs on the work of the likes of Cezanne, Gris, and Frank Lloyd Wright on view at the don't-miss
Art Institute retrospective, but then, it's not
Dogs Playing Poker either.
At the Churchill Field Dog Park in Bucktown, painted along the side of the rail viaduct that is to become the Bloomingdale Trail, there are a series of murals in which the artists pay tribute to some of the most iconic works of Western art by depopulating the humans and replacing them with dogs.

I'm sure the cats would respond in kind, but - wait -
there are no cat parks. What's up with that?

These are currently slated for destruction by the proposed Bloomingdale Trail project. They claim that they have to tear down the walls, but there may be a way to seal the murals and keep them when the new path is built. Please contact The Bloomigdale trail people and local aldermen to let them know you want these preserved!!!!
