Painting the Town...
Menton's glorious facade of the Old Town as painted in separate panels by students of the Ecole Municipale des Arts Plastiques. It was displayed at the Palais de l'Europe along with pottery, painting, photography etc.
In the smaller photo, visitors to the exhibition are pointing out individual houses in the finished work - and it was a big!
This would have worked fine for yesterday's 'bright colours' theme, wouldn't it?
une magnifique peinture, en plus elle a une utilité. bravo

ReplyDeleteJilly,
ReplyDeleteInteresting mural, I enjoy how each section can stand alone as a work of art and combined it makes a beautiful view scape of Menton.
Nice photographs too, it is not easy getting a good clear photo on an angle like the second picture. Mine do not always come out the way I envisioned when I took them.
Cheers

What talented painters. I love these town depictions. We're about to have the mural of our town repainted as the old mural degraded too much, no bright colors anywhere. This is beautifully bright and welcoming.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this mural.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Chuck--I do love these. In fact, I would have begged someone in charge to let me buy a panel. But then, how could I have picked just one? Impossible.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS MURAL. I want it or at least a piece of it. What talent, what a great idea.

That's what I was thinking watching Menton daily: the artists are sure going crazy to paint this beautiful city. The proof is your post of today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyful piece of art! Students are to be commended for their fine work. How old are they? College...?
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful painting of the town! Kudos to the art students.
