(sorry for some of the "quick photos" but you get the gist of the show.)
the show is worth a second trip but it might also be my german sentiments. first impressions were too loose of curation, meaning too many works in some rooms, but overall it had a feel so that was nice. it's good to react to a show, you know? I've decided that I will have to live walking distance to a museum to enjoy its full offerings.

LACMA's blog post today sparked my loving sentiment about floral wallpaper in Germany:

"Floral wallpaper is characteristic of the living space design of the German petit bourgeois in the 1960s and ’70s. It reflects the desire of an entire social class in postwar Germany to express their newly gained economic wealth. However, this group’s unshakable belief in material goods, coupled with overall narrow-mindedness and conservatism, soon became a target for mockery by the younger generation and artists..."
