L.A. Painter: The City I Know. The City I See.
Paintings and Essays by Karla Klarin & Foreword by John Walsh
L.A. PAINTER: THE CITY I KNOW. THE CITY I SEE addresses what it means to be an artist in the world’s most-talked-about modern metropolis—a place that constantly reminds us that talent is power.
For four decades, Klarin’s brush has expressed the city as a geometry of color and line. With work that has been exhibited the world over, Klarin opens viewers’ eyes to more than just a landscape of sunshine, waves, and glitter—her paintings are a multidimensional look at a world-class city. Her city.
See the true Los Angeles in more than 100 remarkable paintings and thirteen essays that evoke the energy of L.A. through the unique perspective of artist Karla Klarin.
With a foreword by John Walsh, director emeritus of the J.Paul Getty Museum, that places her work in the world of contemporary landscape, and a beautiful design that catches the eye and begs to be displayed, L.A. Painter is an artistic gem that you have to read to believe.
