In 2014 when this photo was taken, the mural by Seth was quite new. It was one of my favorites. The building is no longer there.
In 2014 a local dentist, Kevin Harris, brought several international street artists to Baton Rouge. His hope was that their art would brighten declining neighborhoods and give children a sense of the Black history of Baton Rouge. Although some of the original murals have been lost, his Museum of Public Art inspired murals all over the city.
Love the painting and the photo of it. This is just another affirmation of the work you are accomplishing by recording these that are no longer in existence. FAV
I'm so glad you've preserved this one in a photo. It's beautiful and moving- and so is the story about how it got there. I really think you've got a coffee table book in the making- lost art, lost places- photos of all these beautiful things that are no longer there.
shame that this is no longer. it's a great mural, it has substance and a story. even greater that you have photographed it. thank you for sharing. aces!
I am endlessly drawn to and fascinated by mural art. Looking forward to seeing more of your mural photos here. I have some that I will post soon.
