Book Review: Art For Modern Lovers
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who have seen the traveling exhibit that this book documents, you are already familiar with the content of this volume. But if you didn't have that experience, this is the next best thing. A very good look at all forms of art that made southern California life the envy of the nation (the world?) in the 50's and 60's.
