Caravaggio
|
| Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was an Italian artist active from 1593-1610 best known for his radical nauralism, with dramatic scenes of religious and everyday themes and use of lighting against a dark background. The exhibit had a few Caravaggio pieces and mostly works by others inspired by his style.
His complete works are quite extensive and inspired modern movie cimetographers. |

Modern Art
|
LACMA is often criticised for its lack of much art produced after 1970. However, its holdings of "Modern Art" is quite exemplary. Many of what you'll see here are recognizable classics, and we got to see them in person and I got to take pictures, despite LACMA's very-poorly-communicated restrictions on when photographs were and weren't allowed.

Stanley Kubrick
|
The Stanley Kubrick exhibition was a showcase of the director's career through artifacts like production stills, diagrams, models and other ephemera. Crowded and rather dimly-lit, these photos only give a hint of what was displayed.
