Magritte at LACMA

As far as surrealists go, Magritte is probably my favorite, so naturally I think this one deserves a swanking:

Quote:

Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images is the first major exhibition to explore the impact of Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte's (1898-1967) work on U.S. and European artists of the post-war generation. Featuring sixty-eight paintings and drawings by Magritte, including many international loans of his signature works, and sixty-eight works in diverse media by thirty-one contemporary artists such as Richard Artschwager, John Baldessari, Vija Celmins, Robert Gober, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Ed Ruscha, and Andy Warhol, the exhibition examines the different and sometimes unconscious ways that pop, conceptual, and post-modern sensibilities have referenced Magritte's ideas and imagery. In addition, the exhibition installation is specially designed by conceptual artist John Baldessari and includes an inventive presentation that is playful and humorous, yet provides a deep visual understanding of Magritte's work. Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images is on view at LACMA from November 19, 2006, through March 4, 2007, and will not travel to other venues.

How about a Metro swanking?

There's all sorts of cool stuff downtown, and you don't need to pay for/find parking if you hop on the subway :)

I support this swank effort. I'd LOVE to see this exhibit with friends.

I'd love to see this one as well.

This is not a conversation....I'd love to attend :cool:

Maybe we should plan some swankings. LACMA, MOCA, Griffith Observatory, The (old) Getty, plus, I still want to do a good play day in Hollywood, Downtown and a few other train-centric locals, as well as Little India.

How far West does the red line go? I've never ridden that leg. LACMA is at Wilshire and LaBrea.

I've usually just gone from Hollywood & Highland - take 780 bus to Wilshire/Fairfax

Ooooh! I haven't taken a bus in ages,

Another nice location that's easy to get to via Metro, is Lake Balboa - I love the birdies, especially early in the morning

I up for it. CM you guys can always ride with me, that's no problem. :)

I wanna see some ART!!
