It may get a little less attention than the epic likes of the Picasso, Miro and Calder sculptures (among Chicago's embarrassment of riches when it comes to public art), but I stumbled upon Marc Chagall's The Four Seasons mosaic recently on a quiet Sunday morning.

Side Note: Chagall is one of those artists who has snuck up on me in the last few years.
