Robert Graham RIP ~ Venice Beach

Robert Graham was born far from the ocean in D.F. in 1938 and spent much of his adult life just steps from the Pacific in Venice Beach. His art has helped define sculpture in Los Angeles, including the entry pavilion of the Coliseum (below) and the Virgin Mother statue (above) and doors of the downtown Cathedral. Graham was 70 years old and is survived by his wife and son.
