LACMA Show

Went to the Art of 2 Germanys show at LACMA today. It broke up the art from West and East Germany, concentrating on the time divided by the Berlin Wall. It was interesting to go through the history of the 2 sides via artwork. The show is on the 2nd floor of the Broad Bldg., and is quite extensive.

Also on display in a completely separate show and building, is German expressionism before the wars. And yes, it was as angular and violent as the postwar art. However, there is a gallery with Bauhaus art that is outstanding.

Dennis Miller put it best, "I view the falling of the Berlin wall similar to Rowan and Martin. I wasn't a fan of their earlier work, so I'm not too excited about their getting back together."
