their visions for their neighborhoods and their nations. Finding a
place for those ideas in monuments that are constructed of the soil and
spirit of the people is the most challenging task for public artists in
this time.", this is one of Baca's most famous quotes because describes how she feels about her art work and how she would like people to perceive it.
The great wall of los angeles is an amazing mural, i think she captured 'time' very well with the history she portrays
ReplyDeleteI admire this artists work, a great job at capturing time in its present state. I also enjoy the use of bright colors she uses-different from many of the other artist from this chapter.
