A Review of Laguna Art Museum's Beatriz da Costa Exhibition

OC Weekly's Dave Barton visits the Laguna Art Museum two weeks in a row, and this time, he expounds on the new exhibition by the late Beatriz da Costa, who documented the cancer that ultimately took her life last December. Barton writes:

There aren't any movie-of-the-week epiphanies, bucket lists or familial rapprochement as an orchestra on the soundtrack lifts our spirits, and thankfully, there's not one pink ribbon or noxious "positive thinking" platitude in sight. Instead, the exhibition seeks to break social conventions that prevent frank discussions of cancer and examines lifestyle changes that may help improve a cancer patient's chance at survival.

He was also impressed by the portion of the show where Laguna Beach High students were able to contribute. Read the whole review at the link.
