After seeing the Marc Chagall exhibition at LACMA, we went to a couple of other exhibitions, but the one that is most worth rethinking and going back to see and then rethinking again is the Carlos Almaraz exhibition.  Almaraz was born in Mexico City in 1941 and after he came to the United States as a child, his family lived in Chicago until they moved to Los Angeles.  He became one of the most gifted, bravest artists to come on the American art scene, especially in the Los Angeles area. He died in 1989.  The exhibition is called by the same name as the book about Almaraz’s work… Playing with Fire:Paintings by Carlos Almaraz
