“Revolutions 2: Art of Music” is organized and curated by Forest Lawn Museum director Joan P. Adan, who has been presenting art work for 10 years at the Forest Lawn Museum.
“When these covers, posters, packaging, logos and magazine covers were made, they added to the musical listening experience and made for long-lasting impressions, independent even from the art they represented. This exhibition is an acknowledgement and appreciation of that era and its art form,” Adan said.
