Ed Ruscha On National Public Radio

[Brian Moore]

I saw the Ed Ruscha exhibit at the Getty Museum a few months ago. I was delighted to see that National Public Radio did a feature on him today.

I wouldn't say Ruscha was a great photographer, but his work is certainly interesting and indeed, viewed through a 21st century prism, very nostalgic to those of us who have lived in Southern California long enough to have seen these sites in their heyday!

Thanks Brian, interesting and I suppose, in a way, he was part of what formed this everyday aesthetic that we still see today.

That capital letter filter in the titles is a pain isn't it. Can it be fine tuned at all @Hamish Gill ?

What's it done here?

Brian had put NPR in the title and it changed it to Npr. I added the full words as it just looked silly.

Thanks @Pete Askew. Actually I had forgotten about that issue so when I noticed Npr I changed it to NPR and never looked again. Thanks for fixing it.
