The memory paintings of LA swimming pools and embracement of developing technology throughout the eras are few of the many selections to view. The paintings, drawings, prints and photography carry moments and memories from the retro 1960s to the flashy 2010s for newer generations to explore and learn from. As David Hockney says ‘Time is elastic’ so people of this decade can be part of everything.
For a day’s visit Paul Nash’s exhibition (until 5th march) is also highly recommended
