LACMA recently did something we wish all museums worldwide would do-- create an image bank of their works for websites to use. Spreading the amazing art worldwide through the internet is a wonderful thing. We hope you'll see these images and be inspired to create your own art, go to LACMA to view them in person, or use them in your own projects. Thank you, LACMA. We picked a few images from the collection that resonate with some of LA's current urban artists. Check it out...
