The temporary nature of murals is part of their appeal to me. The artists are serious but don't necessarily take themselves over-seriously. Thank you for these beautiful photos that preserve a moment in time.
That's one thing I love about Wichita and the several foundations that sponsor muralists. Their art is protected and the city makes a big deal of sharing them. What happened to the Hello (little boy) would not have happened in Wichita. So sad, even if murals seem to be so temporary most other places. I really like the new mural you shared. It isn't as colorful as the one it replaced, but I feel there's a story behind the new one that was missing before.
...murals come and go.
ReplyDeleteInteresting murals
ReplyDeleteDo you know who the three people in the first mural are?
Have a wonderful week!

I always liked that one of the guy saying Hello. Haven't been down there in ages.
ReplyDeleteMurals seem to change often in some parts of the world. I like the last one that has disappeared.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in Monday Murals Jackie.

ReplyDeleteI should have mentioned that the Hello mural disappeared because the building was torn down likely for another condo.
DeleteThe hello one is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI like "Hello" also. Have a good week.
