Everytime we go to the Getty Museum it is just an oasis of beauty in the midst of freeways and a huge megaloppolis... How a place this beautiful can have been dreamt by benefactor Paul Getty and architect Richard Meier amazes me. On a hilltop of Santa Monica, this white fortress stands halfway to the eternal blue sky, and the rest of Santa Monica, the Pacific ocean in the distance. Arranged around an atrium, the four buldings, the South, West, North and East wings, hold an unbelievable art collection from around the world.
We went a few times so far and once with, Cyn, who is a fabulous painter. We all loved Weston's photographs. and went again just for that. Black and white ideal pictures from his life in California, his voyages to Mexico, portraits, nudes. They feel so close, so alive!
