The binaries of heterosexual and homosexual were invented in 1869, just a short generation after the 1839 invention of the camera.

The modest but pungent survey of paintings by Noah Davis at the UCLA Hammer Museum is a welcome event. It goes a long way toward demythologizing the Seattle-born, L.A.-based artist, who was heartbreakingly struck down by a rare liposarcoma cancer in 2015, when he was barely 32. The show affirms his gift for what it was: Davis was a painter’s painter, a deeply thoughtful and idiosyncratic Black voice heard by other artists and aficionados, even as his work was in invigorating development.

Guadalupe Rosales, 45, delivers a vibrant exhibition that looks into 1990s images and experiences through a Chicana lens. The title of the show centers on a Nahuatl word for spiderweb, a common metaphor for fragility, interconnectedness, beauty and, not least, potential entrapment.

Among myriad potential answers is this one: When it’s the Joshua Tree Art Museum.

Trained as a sociologist, Lewis Hine picked up a camera and trained it on the cheap labor performed by children in American factories and on farms. The exploitation shocked the public, Hine’s poetic photographs exposing the soul-crushing nature of childhoods lost to labor. In the modern-day search for cheap labor, sometimes to replace migrant workers, many states want to roll back the child labor laws that Hine’s photographs helped to get passed.
