Warpaint
|
|
Warpaint are fairly popular in England, where they often appear in music polls and on magazine covers, but the quartet got their start here in L.A.. No matter. Their sparkling reveries aren't limited by geographic boundaries, although there are some commonalities with British hazy-pop bands... More >> |

Levitated Mass
|
|
Just when you thought you'd figured out what art really is, Levitated Mass by Michael Heizer is where modern art and the Protestant work ethic weirdly intersect, which is to say that a 340-ton granite megalith painstakingly transported over two weeks from Riverside sits in a 456-foot-long slot,...

John Mason: Crosses, Figures, Spears, Torques
|
|
From the late 1950s through the '70s, John Mason made monuments that sometimes riffed on the prehistoric, like his 1957 ceramic Vertical Spear form.

|
|
From 1900 through the 1960s, Edward Steichen photographed gowns, buildings, artists, actresses and aircraft characters.

Shaping Power: Luba Masterworks From the Royal Museum for Central Africa
|
|
|
The word "power" often connotes bigness -- the tallest buildings, the strongest weapons, the deepest bank accounts. So the smallness of the emblems in "Shaping Power," the debut exhibition in LACMA's newly opened African Art galleries, is striking. The show consists largely of exquisitely... More >> |
