In an earlier post I brought up wall art being done in cities. In the article about the art work in Oneonta, they wanted to show how the city of the hills once was. In this image in Boston the art work on the building made walking by look like a modern city sky line. With all of the history in Boston they could have depicted any scene from the past, (I am image there are some) but I think the historical aspect of the city stands alone so other elements of artist design are used. I didn’t notice this building at first since from far away the art work actually blended into the rest of the city, which I think was pretty neat.

The details in this art, actually make some of the features look like they are real and three dimensional.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing work of art. The fact that it looks like a real building and three dimensional is amazing. This is a great example of design being used to improve a city's aesthetics.
