Tuesday at LACMA

Second Tuesdays at LACMA are free, so there I was, feasting on the glory.

• Entrance welcome banner along with the late Chris Burden's Urban Light project.

• The foliage accented with red metal around campus is a photographic treat. Here's one view of many possibilities.

• I always enjoy capturing angles and geometry. Here's one.

• My Very Own photograph of David Hockney's Mulholland Drive (1980) for my Very Own archives. Notice the oil well. Do you know how many are in Los Angeles? Today's search results say over 5,000 in Los Angeles city, with thousands (up to 20,000 more) throughout LA County, in a mix of active, idle, and abandoned.


With my back to Mulholland Drive I watched Five Decades of Contemporary Art at LACMA 1965-2020 (twice).

• Staircases and angles again.


Galleries from Tuesday:

Though they allowed photography without flash, almost no one was taking pictures. It wasn't that type of exhibit or that the kind of day for me, either.

• Made in France, 1880-1930

Art by favorites Lyonel Feininger, Raoul Dufy, Henri Matisse, Fernand Léger


• The Art of German Expressionism

Ernst Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Wassily Kandinsky


• Picasso's Portraits


• Paris 1900-1920

Jean Arp, Paul Klee, Diego Rivera, Piet Mondrian, Jean Dubuffet

• Metropolis by Chris Burden. The same Chris as Urban Light.

• Still on-campus, yet more palm trees. WIthout knowing (I could google and find out), I imagine most Southern California palms are date palms.

• I keep my stickers, but this decorated traffic light pole outside the museum inspires multiple visits.

• Early evening Tuna Tuesday at a Subway some distance from me. My usual Subway still is closed because of a broken or non-draining, or otherwise dysfunctional water main.
