There is no Thursday night column. It was a day for photography – a drive down to Venice, to visit the art community. The whole coast was socked in, and here you’ll find two fine old buildings, one from 1906 and one from 1929, and two amazing murals. Commenting on current events can wait. Sometimes you have to just use your eyes.
Darkness Visible (top navigation page) -
The old Venice City Hall, built in 1906. Spooky is good.
The former Venice Division of the Los Angeles Police Department at 685 Venice Boulevard – 1929 Art Deco, now just strange.
The “New World Border” mural in the parking lot behind the offices of The Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC), 685 Venice Boulevard – and the images require no elaboration.
A pastel mural, all light, on the dark history of Venice, California.
Commentary resumes Friday.
