“Part of the Getty's ongoing series that highlights photographs from the museum's permanent collection, In Focus: Los Angeles, 1945–1980 is the last Pacific Standard Time exhibition to open at the Getty Center. The show features both famous and never-before-seen photos by notable artists, from Robert Heinecken and Jo Ann Callis to Man Ray, Edmund Teske, and Garry Winogrand. According to the Getty, "Images are loosely grouped around the themes of experimentation, street photography, architectural depictions, and the film and entertainment industries."

This exhibition features photographs - made between 1945 and 1980 - from the Museum's collection that represent diverse responses to the city of Los Angeles as a subject and to photography as a medium for documentary and creative expression. It is loosely grouped around the themes of experimental photography, vernacular architecture, car culture, and fantasy and the film industry. Both iconic and relatively unknown works are included. One of the best known is Garry Winogrand's image of two women walking towards the Theme Building at L.A. International Airport. Though a quintessential New Yorker, Winogrand settled in Los Angeles near the end of his life.
