Wanted Lexie to see the Getty, so we went again today.
Had to take the rental car back to a place that was way down Wilshire toward downtown. Had to get up before seven to be able to make it back in on time. Heard there was supposed to be protesting over immigration laws that was expected to lock downtown up. Glad we were headed back out asap.
I would have gone back anyway, but there were three new exhibits that opened today...one called Medieval Beasts (illuminated books), One called Radiant Darkness that had a really beautiful painting by a Dutch painter named Gerrit Dou (attaching it, but you can’t possibly appreciate how beautiful it is as a jpg), and a show of animal paintings and drawings by Jean-Baptiste Oudry you might remember that famous rhino of Dürer’s, this guy painted it too...the first rhino to be seen by Europeans, brought to Holland in the 1740s.
The van Gogh of Irises was still great...and that Degas The Milliners.
I didn’t sleep much in the run up to the car return, so the afternoon was for napping.
