Noon: Art

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s “Retail Fictions: The Commercial Photography of Ralph Bartholomew Jr.” is a look at how photographic images sold product and identity in the 1940s and ‘50s. Bartholomew’s advertising photographs of family life, adolescent adventures and women’s roles in the postwar era not only reflected popular culture of the time, but also in many ways served to define it.
