A vital piece of historyBy DSA fascinating and readable look at the lost decade of art in Los Angeles history. The author brings to life the birth of many movements - the rise of women artists; the Chicano Art movement; the growth of mural and outdoor art; available to the LA natives stuck in their cars as they move across a horizontal city. A vital and important piece of history.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Deb Alexander-FrietExcellent! Thank you!
