Palm trees are why So. Cal. can't have nice photographs. That was the goof of
John Baldessari's Wrong (1966-68), and it's a subtext of Bruce Berman's newly announced gift of 186 photos to the Getty Museum. Whereas palm trees = paradise in certain Hollywood contexts, the Berman gift includes works by John Humble and William Larson presenting them as disrupters of any sort of decent composition.
