Art - J.M.W. Turner: Painting Set Free at The Getty Center

J.M.W. Turner produced his most important work after age 60, and now on view at The Getty Center are over 60 paintings and watercolours in a glorious array of galleries for only 3 short months.
Go. See this. Experience it. Marvel at the way the first room's yellow becomes white and surrounds every viewer in what can only be called the magic of art.

Queen Victoria's passion for photography began in the 1840's.
On view in this magnificent show are rare daguerreotypes, private portraits of the Royal Family, and a selection of prints by early masters of photography.

There are many photographs on view of which none are permitted to be reproduced which, of course, is correct.
 Please go see this exhibition and delight in the interior view of this family. The Queen produced nine children.
