Chicago Shakespeare Theatre and The Art Institute of Chicago put together an unusual art-meets-life experience on an ordinary Sunday.
They removed some of the characters from a very familiar painting.
Some museum-goers noticed that there was something missing.

Bit by bit,
Putting it together...
Piece by Piece-
Only way to make a work of art.
Every moment makes a contribution,
Every little detail plays a part.
Having just a vision's no solution,
Everything depends on execution:
Putting it together-
That's what counts!*
Some museum-goers noticed that there was something missing.
It's only new, though. for now,
And yesterday's forgotten.
Today it's all a matter of promotion,
But then —*
The event was dreamed up locally by Chicago ad agency Leo Burnett and shared globally via social media.
That is the state of the art, my friend,That is the state of the art *
Drop by the Google Cultural Institute for a “State of the Art” view of La Grande Jatte.
