Stanley Kubrick Exhibit At LA’s Largest Art Museum – LACMA

[Nicholas Kontis]

Any fan of motion pictures has a favorite film director. Recently, I was able to view an exhibit of one of the true masters of cinematography at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA. A tribute to the works of one of the cinematic geniuses of all time, the perfectionist, Stanley Kubrick. More than 1,000 objects on display in “Stanley Kubrick” — a massive exhibition devoted to the legendary filmmaker.

Anyone who has seen a Kubrick flick must admire the filmmakers attention to every last detail. Working closely with his actors to achieve painstaking cinematic supremacy. The vast genres Kubrick’s films include: war, science fiction, crime, violence, horror, romantic and black comedies. All the magnificent works of Kubrick are on display at LACMA including: 1960′s ‘Spartacus,’ 1962′s ‘Lolita,’ 1964′s ‘Dr. Strangelove,’ 1968′s 2001: ‘A Space Odyssey,’ 1971′s ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ 1975′s ‘Barry Lyndon,’ 1980′s ‘The Shining,’ 1987′s ‘Full Metal Jacket,’ 1999′s ‘Eyes Wide Shut.’
