explores 150 years of Coney Island
I hope this exhibit
includes the Coney Island
image that elevated me
to "part-time" docent at
Los Angeles County
Museum of Art.
Paul Cadmus
includes the Coney Island
image that elevated me

Museum of Art.

reading about HITLER.
After all, it was only 1934
After all, it was only 1934
and the Fuhrer was not

but the magazine
on the man's chest
is the counterpoint
to everything else
in this extraordinary
painting.
