September 15 Getty Center

• Édouard Manet, Jeanne Demarsy, Spring / Le Printemps, 1881

The original painting (center) is in the west pavilion with a banner (right) near the long water feature and a different banner (left) in the entrance-exit corridor. I enjoyed making this trilogy collage.

Sunday November 8th

It's early November, and I decided to blog my September 15th visit to the Getty Center, after all. When I compiled my September summary and noticed I didn't have a separate blog for September 15th, at first I thought it had been a shopping trip, and then I noticed I had a bunch of really good Getty Center pics from that day. Here are some of them.

• Charles Ross: Spectrum 14

• Rainbows in the welcome center are from an actual exhibit! It's a "calibrated array of prisms that cast a dazzling display of luminous color across the Museum's rotunda. … Over time, Ross's work changes in response to Earth's rotational orbit, connecting us to the premodern experience of astronomical observation and calculation that defined cycles of days, seasons, and rituals."

• I hope to find the artist of this banner I photographed looking toward the entrance rotunda. Reverse image search hasn't succeeded, so maybe I'll notice it in one of the galleries and update here (of course).

• Paul Cézanne, Still Life with Apples, about 1893-94

• Vincent van Gogh, details from Irises, 1889

• On-campus views

• Two photographic exhibits:

• Instante / Revelación: Moments in Mexican Photography

• Every Minute is History: Five Views of Los Angeles

• The Making of a Medieval Manuscript

• Although I got some good captures, you really need to see everything to appreciate and understand the process and the art.

• I love the style of the tables and chairs scattered about.

• Talks and Tours at the welcome desk again

• Another colorful banner as guests leave

• It was another Tuna Tuesday!
