A lexey brodovitch was a photographer, de-signer and teacher.

however, he was most fa-mous for his art direction, primarily for the magazine harper’s bazaar. he spent his early life in and out of the military before spend-ing time in Paris, which is where he began his career in the graphic arts. his first major success came after winning a poster competi-tion for a local theater, the 2nd place poster was cre-ated by Picasso. he spent a total of 15 years working for the magazine and provided art direction for much of its content, until he left due to declining health (the story of his resignation varies between an amicable sepa-ration to a violent uproar after being confronted with his alcoholism). his style of combining elegantly set typography with new and

experimental trends in pho-tography became widely popular in the 1940s and 50s and helped to keep the magazine at the forefront of its field in a swiftly chang-ing world. he also helped to direct a short-lived, but influential, American art and design publication titled Portfolio. the cre-ators had hoped that the quality of the content and its production value would attract enough readers, but it could not overcome the cost of its publication and it was not long before it went under. brodovitch also created a book title

ballet, which, at the time of its publication, includ-ed photographs that were quite controversial due to their use of motion blur. nearly every project that brodovitch worked on was met with success and he left a lasting impression on ev-ery one of his colleages, stu-dents and co-workers.

tHe park In tHe centerof a cIty

SquarepersHIng square is a public park in downtown los angeles, california. the park is exactly one square block in size, bounded by 5th street to the north, 6th street to the south, Hill street to the east, and olive street to the west. t here is a large fountain located in the southern half of the square.

by hectOR meLeDez




In the 1850s, the location was used as a camp by settlers outside of the Pueblo de Los Angeles, which was to the northeast around the La Iglesia de nuestra señora Reina de los Angeles church, the plaza, and present day Olvera street. 1850s surveyors drew the site as 10 individual plots of land, but in practicality it was a single 5-acre (20,000 m2) parcel. canals distributing water from the zanja madre were adjacent. In 1866 the park site’s block of plots was dedicated as a public public square by californio and new mayor Cristobal Aguilar, and was first called La Plaza Abaja, or “the Lower Plaza.” At some point the owner of a nearby beergarden, German immigrant George “Roundhouse” Lehman, planted small native monterey cypress trees, fruit trees, and flowering shrubs around the park, and maintained

them until his death in 1882.In 1867, st. Vincent’s college, present day Loyola marymount university, located across the street, and the park informally became called st. Vincent’s Park. In 1870, it was officially renamed Los Angeles Park. In 1886 it was renamed 6th street Park, and redesigned with an “official park plan” by Frederick eaton, later the mayor. In the early 1890s it was renamed central Park, which it was called for decades. During this period a bandstand pavilion was added for concerts and orators. the plantings became sub-tropically lush, and the park became a shady oasis and an outdoor destination for the city. In 1894 the park was first used as the staging area for the annual crowning of the queen of ‘La fiesta de Los Angeles,’ an event which continues now as ‘fiesta broadway.’

EARLY HISToRY


A monument to california’s 20 spanish-American war dead was erected in 1900; it is allegedly modeled after a spanish-American war veteran, 7th california Infantry volunteer charlie hammond of san francisco, and is believed to be the oldest work of public art in Los Angeles. the Los Angeles city council declared it a historic-cultural monument in 1990. In 1910 the park was renovated under a design by John Parkinson, who would later design Los Angeles city hall and union station. Parkinson’s design featured a three-tier fountain sculpted by Johan caspar Lachne Gruenfeld, braced by four life-size concrete cherubs supporting a vase of cascading water. In november 1918, a week after Armistice Day ended world war I, the park was renamed Pershing square,

in honor of Gen. John Joseph “black Jack” Pershing; however a plaque was not added in his honor for over four decades.

In the 1920-30s tropical plants were added to the park. In 1924, a life-size bronze of a world war I doughboy, sculpted by humberton Pedretti, was unveiled, flanked by old cannons. In 1935, a bronze cannon from the uss constitution was added. In 1932, a statue of Ludwig van beethoven was added to honor william Andrews clark, Jr., founder of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, whose home hazard’s Pavilion was located adjacent to the park (where the planned Park fifth towers are to be located).

EARLY 1900s

pershing square is featured in downtown Los angeles

in the video game Midnight club: Los angeles.

pershing square was used as a model for the “Los ange-les” level in tony hawk pro

skater 3 video game.

The square was the site of the first challenge of the re-

ality show, who wants to be a superhero? (1st season).

it was featured as the start-ing point and exit point

of the reality game show cha$e.

The grand Theft auto: san andreas rendition of Los

angeles features its own ver-sion of pershing square.

it was here that Los ange-les times columnist steve

Lopez met nathaniel ayers in 2005. Their story inspired

the film The soloist.

Many of the palm trees that were excavated in the 1950’s

were sent to be used in the disneyland ride “The Jungle

cruise.”

a Monument in the park honors local veteran eugene

a. obregon.

pershing square was also featured in the 2010 action

A modERN PARK




In 1992, the park was closed for a major $14.5-million redesign and renovation by architect—landscape architect Ricardo Legorreta of mexico, and landscape architect Laurie Olin of the u.s. the new park opened in 1994 with: a 10-story purple bell tower, fountains, numerous public artworks including a walkway representing an earthquake fault line designed and executed by artist barbara mccarren, a concert stage, a seasonal ice rink, and small plazas with seating. It is now predominantly paved expanses, with small areas of trees in raised planters.

CURRENT PARKLATTER 1900sthe park was in heavy use during world war II for rallies and recruitment. Post-war the park began to decline as commercial decentralization and suburbanization took hold in the greater L.A. region, and Downtown lost importance and intensity of use. the entire park was demolished and excavated in 1952 to build an underground parking garage. In its place was concrete topped by a thin layer of soil with a broad expanse of lawn. In 1954, Kelly Roth, a hungarian immigrant who had owned a cigar store across from the square, donated $30,000 for twin reflecting pool water

features in honor of his late wife and to thank Los Angeles for the opportunities it provided him. the Roth fountains were designed by renowned architect stiles O. clements. the park continued to be neglected for safe uses. Its problems were noted during the 1960 Democratic national convention, with nominee and future president John f. Kennedy headquartered at the biltmore hotel facing the park. by the 1984 summer Olympics the park had become a serious eyesore, leading the city to spend $1 million for a temporary renovation.


you’ve been dying to try that new shampoo that’s supposed to make your hair thick, lush and shiny. you can’t wait to use that new exfoliating scrub because the label tells you that it’s going to make your skin soft and glowing. you love that new cologne; every time you wear it you get so many compliments on how great you smell!

you love these products and how they make you look and feel, but did it ever occur to you that what you put on your hair or your skin could make you sick? Did you know these prod-ucts contain chemicals, toxins

and hormones that can cause anything from an unsightly rash to learning difficulties to birth defects and even cancer? even though each product may con-tain a limited amount of these toxins, please keep in mind, most people use several prod-ucts each day, from the moment they wake up (soap, shampoo, conditioner, shave cream, de-odorant, toothpaste, hand soap, make up) until they go to bed. After many years of daily use, these toxins accumulate in your body to cause the ailments I’ve listed above, among many others. If they cause these con-cerns for adults, just imagine

the damage they can do to chil-dren who are smaller and weigh less. Although each product you may use may contain a restricted amount of chemicals, hormones and toxins, they can, and many times they do cause a myriad of damage to us all.not only are these beauty prod-ucts toxic for humans, they are toxic to the environment, as well. many of these products are made with petroleum-based ingredi-ents, which contributes to global warming. Did you know that if you switch just one bottle of a pe-troleum based product for a veg-etable based product we could save 81,000 barrels of oil in one year. how’s that for incentive to switch?

so now you decide it’s time to go “green”, you go to the health food store and purchase “Organic” or “natural” products and you no longer have to worry about these concerns...or do you?
