Most of the day to spend in LA? The Getty Center seemed the perfect choice, only 11 miles from the LA airport, where we would depart in the evening for Vietnam. We had a leisurely breakfast, then caught an Uber. It was a beautiful day, a little chilly, but the smog obscured our views. We spent most of our time outside anyway, taking an architectural tour and a tour of the gardens.
Inside, we took a turn through the impressionists and saw Van Gogh’s vivid irises. There were two special exhibitions that held our interest. Photographs by Trees, most featuring children, are playful and surrealistic. The other exhibition featuring works on blue paper, which was made from blue tinted rag paper, was surprising to me. It was developed and used extensively by the seventeenth-century Dutch.
