About the Item
The artist Carole Garland, from Chicago, remembers her move to Los Angeles and her wonder at "Where are all the tall buildings? and Why so much blue sky?" She came to love the City of Angeles over time and devoted a
series of paintings to the city to show it. This painting of the iconic Los Angeles City Hall and its surrounds was part of a Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) series exhibited at TAG Gallery, Los Angeles, in 2018.
The architect John Parkinson was responsible for the concept and architectural design of City Hall, completed in 1928. The style was considered "Modern American" although the tower is very much Art Deco.
Garland's interpretive urbanscape juxtaposes simplified geometric blocks of color with blocks of light and shadow. She chronicles the downtown area in this painting but shakes off realism and follows an instinctive desire to let the paint, the city and the atmosphere coalesce into a work of unusual strength.
