TURRELL DEMANDS ANOTHER LOOK AT LACMA

What an excellent exhibit!  This time we took in Turrell, Part II, in addition to visiting the first part at a leisurely pace, fully embracing our two-hour time slot.

It was a pleasure to see again.  Well worth paying for, IF, you are interested in art, light, and perspective of color.

I might return for a third time.  Perhaps THE MUSE might join me, again.  Perhaps…

Kolb, sometimes known as Hutch.  Hartmuth has had a strong interest in photography, film, and technology since childhood.  His teenage family vacation movies, from northen Italy, where the family summered at their tiny villa, are a visual delight!  He made super-eight films and framed every shot right and steady.   To relax, he makes holograms at home.  We had a blast walking into Turrell’s dazzling rooms of pure color, together.   We were bathed in light, bright and white, like the tunnel to heaven.

The significance of art as “religion for atheists,” as the celebrated author, Sarah Thorton, of the bestseller, “Seven Days in the Art World,” is made clear in the temple models of Turrell’s famous, Roden Crater.
