But I must admit to not knowing about the Pacific Asian Museum and not choosing to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. <br /><br />In LA, I was particularly impressed by the 18th-19th century American paintings, right up till WW1. When I studied history at university a very long time ago, art was what came out of Italy, France and Britain, with Australia, Germany etc a level below. I had no idea about Benjamin West, the Peales, Gilbert Stuart, Singleton Copley etc. I loved John Singer Sargeant but thought he was European. <br /><br />LA County Museum of Art was an eye opener. <br />Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
