The LA Parks Alliance @laparksalliance (the coalition opposing the Gondola) is concerned that the General Plan Amendment process CA State Parks is undertaking is skewed and misleading. They are asking primarily about what you would want in order to allow this billionaire to use the park for his private project (i.e. new restrooms, new pavers, new concession stands) as if it is already a done deal. They should be asking about how the project will impact your experience and how you use the park.

We created a guide for making an effective public comment to save LA State Historic Park @lastatehistoricpark which can be viewed at this link. Included is a sample letter and suggestions on talking points and questions to ask. We encourage you to modify it with your own personal stories.

The deadline to submit your comment is December 15, 2024

All the pictures I took this week

dailyrothko

"Rothko created a modulated ensemble of majestic paintings. The dark purplish tones have a soothing effect, yet they retain enough brilliance to stimulate the mind. The black surfaces invite the gaze to go beyond. The chapel is a place conducive to spiritual activity. We are cut off from the world and its suffocating multiplicity, able to wander in the infinite. Lacking the immensity of the desert, it is in the confines of a restricted place that we can embrace "the whole'. Here we are nowhere and everywhere; here we can find a blessed wholeness, a sense of unity."

- Dominique de Menil

𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗞𝗢, in his studio with triptych from chapel paintings, 1965

📸 Alexander Liberman

While I have presented the black-and-white version of this picture before, I had not seen this color print until recently. As there are very few photos of Rothko with chapel pictures in a finished state, I'm glad to add this alternate scan. In this one you're able to see quite clearly, the studio supports keeping the pictures in place . .

It's said that Liberman, a friend of Rothko's, omitted photos of chapel works that had not been settled on, favoring pictures of this center triptych.

A little bit of a mystery to me here is the fact that this picture is dated 1967, but Rothko appears to be in the same photo session as the other photo of him with the chapel pictures dated 1965. In addition, the black-and-white version of this picture is dated 1965 in one book, leading me to believe that date is accurate. However, Lieberman did take pictures of the studio pulley system and skylight that are dated 1967. I would think the two pictures with Rothko appearing were from the same shoot, but it wouldn't be unthinkable, given Rothko's sartorial style, for him to be wearing the same suit in two pictures two years apart. This is something I'm still researching.
