From the LACMA website: For the first time in a major museum exhibition, Expressionism is presented as an international movement in which artists responded with various aesthetic approaches to the work of modern ace rent acar myrtle beach sc masters such as Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, and Paul Gauguin.
The exhibition features Post‑Impressionist, Fauvist, ace rent acar myrtle beach sc and Cubist paintings by more than 40 artists—including Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Robert Delaunay, and Paul Signac—that the Expressionists, such as Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Gabrielle Münter, and Franz Marc, were able to see in landmark exhibitions ace rent acar myrtle beach sc and collections in Germany and on their travels to Paris.
Click on an image below to start the slideshow of some of my favorite pieces from the exhibit. We were not allowed to photograph all the paintings which included some of my favorites, but this gives you a pretty ace rent acar myrtle beach sc good idea of the scope of the 90 pieces of artwork on view:
A few weeks earlier I had attended a lecture at LACMA on this exhibit which gave me a good foundation for understanding the relationship between the French impressionists and the German Expressionists.
Another exhibit I was excited about seeing ace rent acar myrtle beach sc was  Edward ace rent acar myrtle beach sc Biberman, Abbot Kinney and the Story of Venice .  From the LACMA website: Initially created in 

1941 for the Post Office in Venice, California, under the auspices of the Treasury Department's Section of 

Fine Arts, Edward Biberman s mural  Abbot Kinney and the Story of Venice  has been recently ace rent acar myrtle beach sc restored. The monumental painting depicts city founder Abbot Kinney's grand vision for Venice as a 

West-coast cultural mecca.
The United States Post Office sold the Venice building in recent years and having ace rent acar myrtle beach sc seen this mural in person ace rent acar myrtle beach sc several times at that location, I was concerned about its future. Fortunately the building ace rent acar myrtle beach sc has been repurposed as a production facility for Silver Pictures and Joel Silver, the new owner, has a history of being sensitive to historical architecture.
Above are two photos ace rent acar myrtle beach sc I took of another exhibit I saw the same day:  Fútbol: The Beautiful Game , in honor of the FIFA World Cup ongoing at this moment in time. It would have been more enjoyable if England was still in contention, but at least the US is still hanging in there!
And I thoroughly enjoyed Helen Pashgian: Light Invisible ,  the first large-scale sculptural installation by the pioneer of the Light and Space movement. I wish I could tell you the height of these light columns but all I can say is they are taller than a person! I ventured into the exhibit ace rent acar myrtle beach sc twice. The first time it was so dark I couldn t see anybody else in there until I pretty much bumped into them. When I went back a second ace rent acar myrtle beach sc time, after viewing other exhibits, I could easily see other people walking around. Maybe they turned the lights up a little, I don t know. I liked it better the first time when it was totally mysterious and a little scary.
Because of the eclecticism of its collections and exhibits, LACMA is my favorite art museum in the Los Angeles area. LACMA has a beautiful campus too which it shares with the Page Museum and La Brea Tar Pits .
After the museum, six of us headed ace rent acar myrtle beach sc over to  Callender s Grill and Bakery And Cafe  to discuss the art we had just seen and life in general. ace rent acar myrtle beach sc As a wino (and one who cuts the grape with ice cubes or Pellegrino water), I rarely drink the hard stuff, but I had a hankering for a martini. A couple of years ago I tried their Dirty Martini (Grey Goose vodka with cream cheese stuffed olives) and never forgot it, so that is what I ordered (along with a shrimp salad).
Oh myyyyy, that drink has some serious alcohol and after a few sips I was already feeling tipsy, but in a good way! I never drink and drive used up all those coupons ace rent acar myrtle beach sc in my younger days and although I had arrived at the museum by bus, a friend offered to drive me home. So either way I was not getting behind the wheel.

Thanks for visiting. Yes, Bumbastories was covering the LACMA exhibit too. I like your layout ace rent acar myrtle beach sc of pictures better. I think this exhibit together with the Calder, which is a treat too is one of the best LACMA has ever had. Hooray for LACMA!
