Indian Super Heros

Saturday night Jonathan and I went to the LACMA. It was after 5pm, so they let you just walk in without buying a ticket, which is nice for me because I just started paying off my student loans this month (really adult, I know).

We walked through the usual, more permanent rooms of art that are always very enjoyable. We saw a sculpture by Joan Miro, who is distantly related to my sister's boyfriend (and yes that is my claim to fame), and I spotted some art I really liked that I either hadn't noticed before or hadn't cared to take literal note of, such as:


Natalia Goncharova's Religious Composition: Archangel Michael


Picasso's Portrait of Sebastian Juner Vidal

When we went into the bookstore after wandering around we noticed they were selling a lot of Indian comic book things, and we realized they were having an exhibit on the very subject! In all our excitement we practically waltzed to the 4th floor where they keep the Indian and Islamic art. The exhibit was so cool! I love when something so seemingly unimportant as a comic book holds such beautiful art.



Go see the exhibit!!

  1. I love that Picasso. The blues make me feel enchanted. You are always out doing the coolest things in this city. So I was thinking- do you wanna check out the Rembrandt exhibition at the Getty with me sometime this month?
