Trying to hang at the G with Lala
It's been so long since I have been to the Getty for a show that I kind of forgot what was there. So I was completely taken aback when I pulled in to get my parking ticket and saw Miss Lala on her own banner stretched along the curved wall. I figured, "Bonus!" I had come for Courbet but would stay for Degas. I love Degas but I guess I had forgotten that so does everyone else. But can you blame them? I mean come on, the guy was an amazing draughtsman, painter, and sculptor of the human form, and even if you don’t dig all the ballet dancers he painted tons of other stuff too - the least "Impressionist" of the Impressionists and a photographer to boot. What’s not to like?
I was kind of jazzed for this show but little did I know that the exhibition consisted of about 14 works. UGH! Don't get me wrong; sometimes I really like small, focused exhibitions. They give you a chance to concentrate and to really appreciate a few things without being distracted or overwhelmed. But this show is really tiny, in fact, it's teeny-tiny. The gallery was totally mobbed. Actually, the same was true for the larger Courbet show. Way too many people -way too little art for everyone to see (which in a way is the tragedy of the Getty imho). Oh well. I should have known better than to do this on a Saturday...
Related - found this while I was putting together this post. Too bad this show didn't make it to Cali.
