As you walked into the old section of the Art of Institute of Chicago, you pass a grand staircase.  On the first landing is a bronze sculpture of a torso created by Roussillon-born sculpturer Aristide Maillol in 1906.  It is entitled Enchanted Action.  The white light in the staircase always tickles down to the toes, and yet the torso has no toes to tickle.
