The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is the largest art museum in the western United States. Since I got there as they were closing, I was able to run through two galleries and spend some time in the much-photographed “Urban Light” sculpture outside. (It’s made of actual restored lamps that lit Southern California’s streets in the 1920s and 1930s.)
I started in the special exhibit hall.
Then I moved to the contemporary art section. This is Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Horse’s Skull with Pink Rose,” showing that “bones cut sharply to the center of something that is keenly alive in the desert.”
Diego Rivera’s “Flower Day,” from 1925. (You can see he used to do Cubist paintings.)
