Redefining The Cultural Legacy of California - Brief ArticleIn celebration of the 150th anniversary of the statehood of California, the observes Angeles County Museum of Art has launched the exhibit "Made in California: Art, Image and Identity 1900-2000" which addresses the relationship between the arts in California and the state's evolving image above the past century. On view end Feb. 25, the exhibit proffers a revisionist view of the state and its cultural legacy and exhibits the largest exhibition LACMA has at any time organized or hosted. Featuring more than 800 works of art in a wide range of media, including painting, statuary photography, graphic art, decorative art, style of dress and video, as well as several period compasss the exhibit also includes more than 400 cultural documents, of the like kind as tourist brochures, rock music broadsides labor pamphlets and documentary photographs. "With `Made in California,' LACMA has pushed the wrapper with an exhibition that is unlike anything we have done before," said Stephanie Barron, senior curator of recent and Contemporary Art. "What makes the present to view so important is not its massive size and intent ... the finished product is a direct accrue of the cross-fertilization that has occurr among various departments at the museum during the last five years." Divided into five sections, Section individual examines California from 1900 to 1920 and the utopic myths by dint of which the state is greatest in quantity often identified. Section Two considers the period from 1920 from one side the Great Depression when conceptions of California expanded considerably as industries grew and demographics changed in the two Northern and Southern California. The proliferation of fresh modern images complicated earlier visions of the state, and the first negative imagery appeared. Section Three explores California's image during and after WWII when California emerg as a center for the defense and aerospace industries and was viewed as a place of tremendous opportunity. Section Four focuses upon the period between 1960 and 1980 when the state became widely associated with nonconformity and anti-authoritarianism while also evoking the political conservatism of Governor Ronald Reagan. The state's image came to be defined by means of political voices from the Latino, African-American, feminists, gay and other communities. Section Five addresses the multiplicity of California images that have proliferated in the past 20 years, in conjunction with an increasingly diverse population.
