September 6th

Today, I went to LACMA. For all of you lucky bastards fools that don't live in LA, that stands for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. For some reason, Target sponsored Labor Day and made it free for all us art hungry Angelenos. In light of their recent donation, I thought it would be perfectly appropriate for Target to fund my trip to the museum. They decided to make an immoral donation to an immoral political candidate and so I get to go to a museum for free. Not quite even, but it stings less.

Most of the art I saw at the museum was contemporary. My favorite stuff was by  John Baldessari. He combined photos and paint to create  really interesting & beautiful pieces. This was one of my favorites that I could find on google.





There were also these sculptures by other artists. This one was by Jeff Koons. I wasn't supposed to take pictures, but one of the figures was so awesome, I couldn't resist. Plus the guards were such Nazis that I had to defy them. I had to be pretty stealth about it hence the terrible quality. I kept pretending to text as an excuse to keep my camera phone out and at the ready. The most severe of the guards hovered around me even when I was actually texting. Anyhow, you can see him in this photo I took. He is to the left of the badass dog that I got a picture of. Clearly he was forced to be a dick because he felt inferior to the giant blue dog.
