Publisher's Synopsis
A vibrant collection of paintings capturing Los Angeles from the eye of a local.
"Thomason paints as a native, capturing Los Angeles at the level of its streets…. this is Los Angeles without its history of forgetting, no longer rootless, placeless, but instead, through Thomason's transforming imagination, the embodiment of place."
- David L. Ulin, book critic, Los Angeles Times
An original collection of paintings, 100 Not So Famous Views of L.A. offers intimate, often recognizable, sometimes unexpected glimpses of a city known and loved by the artist. Inspired by nineteenth-century Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, Los Angeles artist Barbara Thomason captures the charm and personality of her vibrant city, with commentary and history.
