The Los Angeles Art Association (LAAA) is one of the city’s oldest art institutions. Founded in the 1920’s, its original mission was to bring together elite art interests with Hollywood collectors. After World War II, it became the center of Los Angeles modernism and today, LAAA continues to play a vital role in the region by providing opportunities, resources, services and exhibition venues for emerging Los Angeles artists.
This weekend, the Los Angeles Art Association opens its latest exhibition called Fast Living, an all-media exploration of self-indulgence juried by Elizabeth East, Director – LA Louver. In addition to Fast Living, artists Susan Arena, Linda Kunik and Dan Monteavaro will be featured in solo exhibitions.
A Conversation with Documentarian Jason Cohn on Charles and Ray Eames (Part 2)
February 18, 2011 2:44 pm By
Late last year I had the pleasure of speaking with Jason Cohn about his latest film project called Eames: The Architect and the Painter, which is set to air in Fall 2011 on the PBS show American Masters. A condensed version of the second half of our conversation is published below. If you missed the first half, which was published on February 15th, you can find it here.
I’ve known Jason for over 30 years and have followed his career with a lot of interest. When I started Curating Los Angeles (CLA) last Fall, I knew I would interview him at some point about his work, since as you’ll learn below, he is as fascinated by Los Angeles as I am and appreciates the many ways that the city has nurtured creative energies and impulses in a wide variety of fields.
