In the wake of the pop art movement of the 1960s and ‘70s, Herb Ritts’ photographs created a synergy of art, popular culture and business. Apr. 3–Aug. 26, Ritts’ unique images of fashion models, nudes and celebrities are on display at the Getty Center in Brentwood. Herb Ritts: L.A. Style explores the Los Angeles-based photographer’s extensive archive, including a selection of renowned and previously unpublished photographs, as well as his directorial projects. Opening the exhibit are portraits of celebrities such as Britney Spears, Richard Gere and Madonna; Ritts’ anti-glamour style of portraiture is known for giving these famous faces a more natural look, revealing their inner qualities and making them more accessible to fans. The exhibition also includes fashion photographs, examples of Ritts’ unique work with nudes, portraits of well-known athletes and dancers, music videos and commercials. 1200 Getty Center Drive, L.A., 310.440.7300. getty.edu
