Hello everyone, I finally did it. I visited LACMA.
After semesters of art & photography classes, I'm almost ashamed to say that I've never gone before this. But alas, it's true. Now here are the photos. I've posted a few on the main page but here is the complete gallery. You should go to the museum now if you can, especially if you appreciate Picasso and Diego Rivera's work. Whoever curated the exhibition is a little short of genius. I am not a fan of Cubism (it stresses me out, honestly) but I did not mind paying the little extra just to be near the large canvases. I was very appreciative that they allowed photography, although only for selected artworks.
I went with my Mother, two of my sisters & a boyfriend (not mine). Unfortunately, the Rain Room was closed but we were not disappointed for long. There were many others to fawn & gawk at such as the light display outside or the giant Matisse in the gallery. My favorite spot was the Art Nouveau exhibition. Goodness gracious! It's so fascinating how the artists made such beautiful curves and geometric shapes collide into something elegant, natural & modern.
Anyhow, go to an art museum. It'll do you some good.
