Thursday, February 28, 2008 – Beyond Mondrian

Mondrian, the Dutch painter famous for his grids of primary colors, would smile at this. West Los Angeles, driving north on Sepulveda north of Pico, you come to this, at Tennessee Avenue – full geometric color.  There's no signage on the building, so you don't know what this is, but it's amazing.  Mondrian died in 1944 in New York, in that grim geometric grid of Manhattan. Someone carried on his work out here.

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back this site.

Technical Note:

Most of these photographs were shot with a Nikon D70 - using lens (1) AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or (2) AF Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto, or after 5 June 2006, (3) AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor, 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G ED. They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0.  Earlier photography was done with a Sony Mavica digital still camera (MVC-FD-88) with built-in digital zoom.

Oh, on the same corner, a little humor –
