‘A system of politics and art’

Found in Blagden Alley in the Shaw neighborhood. Almost all the garage doors there have some kind of mural painted on them.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

That is cool. I wish we could be brought together, but this country seems farther apart than ever. V

A though provoking sentence ! Hope art will never be a system and art with politic is not art...V.

The garage doors make such interesting canvases, nicely seen and photographed.

I find it neat and fascinating that garage door paintings are so popular there...love this style of pen on paper look. V!

How interesting. And I like the pencil drawing look to it.

This is wonderful, Helen.

Certainly what we need since these days the art of politics has been replaced by a primitive, tribal system that is tearing us apart.

It's great that there's support for mural artwork.
