=== America Windows, Chicago === Chagall visited Chicago in the early 1970s to install his mural ''[[Four Seasons (Chagall)|The Four Seasons]]'', and at that time was inspired to create a set of stained glass windows for the [[Art Institute of Chicago]].<ref name=AIC>{{Cite web|title=Chagall's America Windows|url=https://www.artic.edu/artworks/109439/america-windows|access-date=18 June 2023|website=The Art Institute of Chicago|year=1977 }}</ref> After discussions with the Art Institute and further reflection, Chagall made the windows a tribute to the American Bicentennial, and in particular the commitment of the United States to cultural and religious freedom.<ref name=AIC /> The windows appeared prominently in the 1986 movie ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Chagall's America Windows return to Chicago Art Institute|url=http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/8225|website=The History Blog|date=1 November 2010|access-date=16 June 2023}}</ref> From 2005 to 2010, the windows were moved due to nearby construction on a new wing of the Art Institute, and for archival cleaning.<ref name=AIC/>
