A Visit with Shag

Still recovering from being in the car for 7 hours just to go from Palm Springs to a secluded area of Orange County for a visit with the painter, Shag, for a new magazine coming out here in the Palm Springs area called Dune.

Shag, aka Josh Angle, is extremely popular with hipsters in Southern California. Can't write much more (nor show all the photos I got) until the article comes out.

One of the most promonate designs featured in this paintings, besides all of the wonderful ultramodern characters, are the light fixtures--symmetric and cylindrical. They're one of the mid-century modern era's greatest work of steel.

Tip: (gee, haven't had one of these for a long time)--Take the advice of architectural designer Mies Van der Rohe, "Less is more," or in other words, in a modern world, get rid of anything you can for simplicity.
