Yesterday, I went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Periodically, I like to go look at beautiful…..or interesting art.
It is not always that art is fun and pleasant. Sometimes, I find art dark because it reflects the mood or the artist’s inner self, and not all of us have lived through beautiful times and have wonderful stories to tell.
I ended up in this exhibition of Yoshimoto Nara, a Japanese artist whom I had not heard of before, and I was fascinated.
Some of Nara’s paintings of children and animals looked both sweet….and sinister. But I saw some kind of spirit in each of them….I saw human nature.
I am posting several of the paintings here, including a remake of his drawing studio.
Enjoy!
