I saw this for the first time recently. Well, no, that’s not true. I saw David Hockney’s composite picture for the first time about seven years ago, although I feel like it might have been at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art rather than the Getty Museum. I was fascinated by it.
I saw the actual Pearblossom Highway recently. It looks like that artwork, but softer, without the harsh edges of the photos, but the boundaries of distant mountains, and rose-colored horizons.
