Thursday, December 16, 2010 – In the Light

Detail of "Urban Light" at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Wilshire Boulevard

It's like returning to an old friend – it's the "Urban Light" installation at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) down on Wilshire Boulevard – this time concentrating on the details. And the long winter light was good, the last day of it before three days of rain. It's a Zen thing – the two-hundred and two restored cast iron antique street lamps can clear your head. They just are. And that's cool.

Oh yeah. Balzac is still there, looking on –

Yeah, yeah – Rodin –

Marsyas (torso of "The Falling Man") - first modeled 1882-89 - Rodin, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Wilshire Boulevard

But the real Zen is at the Japanese Pavilion not that far from Balzac and the odd lights –
