Daily art news

Luis M. Chiappe, director of the Dinosaur Institute, in white shirt, talks with a journalist at a preview of a Tyrannosaurus rex growth exhibit, featuring three specimens of varying ages, at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011. Featured are fossils of a 30-foot-long young adult, about 18 years old, upper left; a 20-foot-long juvenile, about 14, right; and an 11-foot-long baby, about 2, said to be the youngest known specimen, lower left. The T. rex trio will be the centerpiece of a new, expanded Dinosaur Hall, with some 300 fossils, 20 full-body specimens, interactive and video exhibits, in two large galleries that will more than double the previous space. The hall is scheduled to open to the public in July, 2011

 PROVO, UTAH.- In August 1953, renown American photographer Dorothea Lange traveled to southern Utah where she met up with her long-time friend Ansel Adams. The two photographers spent three weeks photographing the landscape and people of Toquerville, Gunlock and St. George with the intention of publishing the work in LIFE magazine. Lange’s enthusiasm for her subject yielded hundreds of photographs from which she composed an extended essay of 135 photographs, including images by Ansel Adams. Thirty-five of those photographs with text by Daniel Dixon appeared under the title “Three Mormon Towns” in the September 6, 1954 issue of LIFE.
