It’s hard to think of a show more perfect for a moment than “Ed Ruscha: Travel Log” at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art. After a year of quarantine, Ruscha’s images of travel across Route 66 and mountains like the Matterhorn scratch our pent-up itch to move and see something new. Even better, it makes you appreciate the travel you’ve done before.
The show, on view till May 30, reveals the American artist exploring the idea of travel in a wide range of pieces including “word painting” lithographs, artist books, photography and prints.
