After picking up my 6" jointer birthday present this morning (see another post), I went to the "George Nakashima: Nature, Form & Spirit" show that opened this afternoon at the Japanese American National Museum in downtown Los Angeles. His daughter, Mira Nakashima, gave a public talk and slide presentation and then signed copies of her book by the same title. There was a 17 min. short version of a forthcoming documentary film about him by his nephew.
The show is incredible! There were a couple of pieces that literally took my breath away. There are several dozen pieces on display (including a bench the public is invited to sit on), photographs, personal effects, etc. This will be a show I will be going back to often (it's up until January). I've already made a date with my wife for Sun., Oct. 17, "An Afternoon with Sam Maloof" at the show.
If you live in or visit the area this fall, you owe yourself a trip to see this exhibit.
