Favorites at LACMA Today

While roaming around the museum, I met an artist by the name of Aaron who showed me his sketches and art work.  He works included drawings from Viet Nam when he was serving during the war, his designs while employed at the L.A. Times Sunday magazine including layouts for photos of the 1984 Olympics,  and his most recent sketches and photos.

I visited the contempory art on the third floor of the Broad building and then strolled around the third floor of the Ahmansen building enjoying the European art.  Below are some favorites.
