Luminous Paper at the Getty

Made the trek up to the Getty Center today, assuming that while it would be busy, it wouldn't be teeming with teen tours, specifically a tour of Italian teens that seemed to multiply exponentially as we waited for the tram.  I assumed incorrectly but as is their wont, once our tram made it up the hill they dissipated across the grounds, spreading their brand of Italian teenness to other, unsuspecting museum goers.

Leaving me to visit the West Pavilion, the one pavilion I seem drawn to, over and over.  This time to see two very different but compelling exhibits, the first being Luminous Paper: British Watercolor and Drawings, which was both exactly as fussy as I expected  and yet utterly engrossing in its fussiness.

Which I'm not using derogatorily, I just can't think of another word to describe several galleries full of small, framed paintings and drawings, most of which are so beautifully and elaborately detailed despite their small scale.  But as most of them were also Victorian, it stands to reason that they'd be elaborate and yet tiny.
