The Song of the Lark, Jules Adolphe Breton, Art Institute of Chicago<\/p><\/div>\n

Bill Murray<\/a> tells the story of how he stumbled onto this painting and how it saved his life, more or less, at an especially discouraging moment in his early career. Or at least it showed him how he had nothing to be discouraged about. I love how Breton manages to illuminate the figure with the cool, blue light of the dawn in the west rather than the direct and warm light of the sunrise in the east. It somehow conveys the clemency of the young woman’s experience hearing the bird to inaugurate a day of work. And, who knows, maybe we need to say a few words of gratitude to this painting for Ghostbusters, Lost in Translation<\/em>, and Rushmore, <\/em>not to mention a couple of the best moments in Tootsie.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
