BEAUTY: Painting--Laurence Jones

Painter Laurence Jones has been obsessed, like many people, with the incredibly famous (and rightly so) Stahl House. The house --or Case House Study #22 as it was known--was built in 1959 by Pierre Koenig in the Hollywood Hills area for the Stahl family. It is a masterpiece of Mid-Century Modern Architecture, showing up in films (Tim Allen's character lived there in the comedy sci-fi film "Galaxy Quest"), television shows (even an animated version showed up on "The Simpsons"!), and countless advertisements for things like food, kitchen appliances, and furniture. Jones is clearly entranced with the clean angularity of the cantilevered house and the equally important view of Los Angeles.
