Another highlight of our recent Los Angeles trip was a day at the Getty Center on top of a huge mountain near the coast. While there, a huge winter storm came barreling into Los Angeles. It brought some rain, LOTS of wind -- and even a little snow! It was the wildest thing! I don't think I have ever been in LA during a storm. This was special!
There is a lot to see at the Getty Center -- although not very much 20th-century art (which is my favorite). They did have a small exhibition of Alexei Jawlensky paintings (see photograph) which were the highlight of my day.
Other exhibitions we enjoyed included "In Focus: Los Angeles, 1945–1980" featuring photographs of the city; "Lyonel Feininger Photographs 1928 - 1939" featuring the work of this important American photographer who grew up in Germany; and "From Start to Finish: De Wain Valentine's Gray Column" which included a fascinating sample of how this artist poured and then polished his polyester resin sculptures.
