Amidst this weekend’s crisp fall weather and underneath it’s clear blue skies I returned for yet another visit to The Getty Center. Perched in the Brentwood Hills of Los Angeles, it is home to the J. Paul Getty Museum as well as research and conservation institutes. Though a frequent destination of mine for art history research papers, its noteworthy offerings extend far beyond the paintings and sculptures of it’s galleries. It is a truly an ethereal place, with modern exteriors of imported travertine and a spectacular view that sweeps from the Pacific’s shores to the local mountains. Decorously displaced from the dirt and din of city, this opulent piece of paradise seems to float above it all. Gaze upon the grounds and architecture captured here, over several visits by Brett.Historie
