- Picasso Statue - Pablo Picasso was the single greatest influence on twentieth century painting. You will recognize his style immediately. Mayor Daley and he were, in all truth, friends. Daley commissioned a breathtaking, two story sculpture in classic Picasso style, to adorn the giant Civic Center Plaza, in the hear of downtown Chicago. As much as the Chicago Cubs, deep dish pizza, and Lake Michigan, “The Picasso,” to Chicagoans, is part of the essential breathing, beating heart of what Chicago is to us. Google it!

To my mind, appreciating a monument or a public sculpture becomes considerably more meaningful when guided by a knowledgeable individual who can provide the necessary historical and cultural background. What did the era that saw its creation signify, and how did its architecture embody those cultural themes? I can provide extensive insight on this matter. You will undoubtedly learn about each landmark from a contextual perspective. Having been on other tours here, I’ve noticed a lack of that perspective. On this tour, it’ll be like flipping through a history book, revisiting a forgotten America of Roman and Greek architectural fashions, as well as styles influenced by British and French aesthetics. We will also not leave out the contemporary architectural designs from around the globe, that have shaped our modern skyscrapers for the enthusiasts of the present-day era.
