Whimsical California Architecture of the 20th Century

Growing up in Los Angeles meant there was lots of whimsical architecture throughout the city. Buildings like Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and Egyptian Theatre, both on Hollywood Boulevard were everyday sights. These two incredible buildings are still around only blocks away from each other. The Egyptian opened in 1922 followed by the Chinese in 1927, although the Chinese overshadowed its earlier sibling due to the hand and foot prints embedded in concrete in front of the doors. Both have been restored and are still used as movie theatres. The world’s first movie premiere was shown at the Egyptian Theatre. It is now owned by Netflix.

Agata Popęda here. The Monterey Museum of Art often brings wonderful art from outside of the county to Monterey. But the exhibit I described in this week’s cover story in the Weekly, Rex Ray: We Are All Made of Light, is really a special treat. The little miracle of having it here, in Monterey, comes courtesy of independent curator, writer and Monterey resident Cydney Payton, who was the artist’s friend.
