This series of images was taken on visits to the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California over an eight year period.
I usually find this type of modern architecture sterile, but here the architect Richard Meier created spaces that are not only pleasant to be in but include interesting lines, windows, angles, curves, and textures in almost every view. Looking abstractly at these details reveals patterns that capture my eye as a photographer, and as many visual artists know, once you notice something like this, it’s hard to let go of it. I continue to visit the Getty and add to this collection.
Here's the entire set so far: Getty Center Abstractions
I have a show of these images coming up next month. If you're in the area stop by.

Multiple photo transfers from color laser copies (must be powder inks) (Nuexpression does mine on Jonestown Road, Winston-Salem, NC) using CitraSolv Concentrate onto silk scarf then overpainted with dyes by Mary Bailey Thomas of Studios 625 in the Downtown Arts District in Winston-Salem, NC.
This and the following 6 images were all derived from/inspired by photographs I took of an orange and two tomatoes! Miracles of modern technology - the images, not the fruit :) Although, having said that ......... !
This is a "found object", and it might be fun to see if anyone can come close to figuring it out. No one will get it exactly right. The only changes were in Levels, to make the colors pop, and cropping left and right sides.
Los Angeles, California. Every time I get to the Getty I'm astounded by the architecture. The architect Richard Meier put incredible lines, windows, angles, curves, and textures in almost every view. You look up, down, across and through in almost any place you can get to and there are things of interest to see.
Looking at the details of this architecture abstractly reminds me of the work of Kandinsky and other Bauhaus painters and architects as well as the Russian Supremists and I wanted to make a small collection to attempt to document that.
Part of the series: Getty Center Abstractions
While I was prepared to encounter the wildlife and the Giant Mountain itself of Denali, something I was totally unprepared was the vibrant colours of the landscape that Denali presented. The colours and contrasts across the mountain range and tundras presented itself as a canvas painting for most part. Finding that art within the frame was an interestign excercise. Sometimes the line between mystical and reality is so thin, you beging to wonder where you have wondered across to.

She key word for this card is "abstractions" which fits with the abstract main sketch, and the work of philosophers in the small sketch.
The main sketch is an abstract done more or less at random but a more complex one.
The small sketch at the side is a copy of one by Hans Holbein in Erasmus' book, the Praise of Folly.

abstractions
Erasmus' "Praise of Folly" loves to mock
The scientists whose pride he wants to knock.
From landscape, portrait , third way showed the feel
Of life - or shapes 'n colours to appeal.
A simple plan - or of it, make a meal?
Abstractions can be painted into art.
Kandinsky's new field sells well in the mart.
