	J. Paul Getty Center
		The J. Paul Getty Center houses one of the world’s foremost art organizations on a 110-acre hilltop site surrounded by 600 acres of land preserved in its natural state in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains.
		The landscape, fountains and gardens of the Getty Center are varied and complex, referring to both the natural context of southern California, and the cultural legacy of a new world institution with its roots in the old world.
		At the same, time, the gardens also extend the Getty’s mission of stewardship to the environment as only plants were selected that can thrive in the southern California climate without extraordinary measure for life support in order to meet a water conservation strategy.

	The Getty Center and The J. Paul Getty Museum \| Floornature
		The Getty Center is located at the foot of the Santa Monica Mountains, on one end of a hill just over three hundred metres high which extends to the south in the direction of the flatlands of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.
		The Getty Center is a true miniature city, with spaces, places and constructions set up to reproduce the complexity of an urban construction in terms of layout and volume.
		A visit to the museum begins with a funfair-like mechanised landscape in which the visitor wanders in a reverie amongst the halls and rotundas, paved plazas and gardens, walkways, terraces and stairs of a citadel whose human scale appears unreal in the setting of one of the world's least "human" cities or regions.

	J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center \| Museum/Attraction Review \| Los Angeles \| Frommers.com
		Since opening in 1997, the Richard Meier-designed Getty Center has quickly assumed its place in the L.A. landscape (literally and figuratively) as the city's cultural acropolis and international mecca.
		Headquarters for the Getty Trust's research, education, and conservation concerns, the postmodernist complex -- perched on a hillside in the Santa Monica Mountains and swathed in Italian travertine marble -- is most frequently visited for the museum galleries displaying collector J. Paul Getty's enormous collection of art.
		Entrance to the Getty Center is free -- they don't need your money -- but parking reservations are required weekdays (though we've heard of people getting in without one on slow days).

		Socially conscious art that documents the mood of its time is displayed in the J. Paul Getty Center exhibit "Pictures for the Press."
		One woman viewing the fl-and-white shots on the Getty's wall commented on the dates some of the photographs were taken: 1965 — only 40 years ago.
		In an age when television has just about replaced the printed page as the medium through which a majority of Americans get their news, the freeze-frame still quality of the prints in the Getty is refreshing.

		The Getty's new survey is the first since the extensive retrospective organized in 1990 by the National Gallery of Art.
		This exhibition of 37 photographs selected from the Getty's own collection includes fl-and-white prints featuring the isolated body parts of chickens (obtained from the local butcher), as well photos of the Arizona landscape rendered as patterns of cacti and stone, without a horizon line.
		At least, that is the impression one gets if one leaves the Getty and travels to Craig Krull Gallery in nearby Santa Monica, which is showing a selection of the collages that Sommer carefully composed to represent the brain, the heart and other body parts -- all made in the 1990s.

	The Getty Center - Los Angeles
		The Getty Center is a superb experience for the visitor, both for its architecture and for its collections.
		Funded with an endowment from the J. Paul Getty (read O-I-L) estate, the once small museum in its ersatz Roman villa has metamorphosed into a multifaceted institution involved in conservation, education, and research, as well as collecting great art, particularly painting, antiquities, photography, and decorative arts.
		The architect for the new center is Richard Meier, an American master of the modernist style.

		The separate buildings of the center are ranged around a spacious courtyard, and up close they disclose their central decorative element, large squares of rough-hewn Italian travertine set with enough space between that both line and texture are distinct.
		It imposed itself upon the eye and the mind susceptible to the question of why human beings have so blithely embraced the idea that the natural world is something to be defeated, to be detached from daily life, to be scraped and gouged and hidden by things of enormous size and height.
		The Getty Center was built with the legacy of a fabulously wealthy businessman, the members of its board are men and women of wealth and privilege, and who presumably feel comfortable with an architecture expressive of those qualities.

	Introduction and Reference Material
		Richard Meier's Getty Center harmoniously unites the parts of the J. Paul Getty Trust, and makes them accessible not only to Los Angeles but to the world." Accessible it is - but perhaps oppressive.
		But the Getty Center is so much larger than Gehry's Guggenheim, both in size and concept, that a comparison between them is not entirely fair.
		The form is derived from the topography of the hilltop and builds harmony with the environment by reflecting two natural ridges: the grid of the city and the angle (22.5 degrees) of the San Diego freeway.

		For visitors accustomed to the Getty's permanent collection of medieval religious art and its wide selection of classical portraiture, the energy and emotion of Viola's pieces may be both shocking and strangely familiar.
		Viola came to understand the importance of the ancient masters to modern artists during a year of study at the Getty, but he feels that viewers don't need a similar background to enjoy his work.
