Monday Mural and in the summer I visited the Photographers' Gallery in London to see views of 1960s' Manchester. This was an exhibition of photos taken by Shirley Baker as many parts of the poorest areas of the city were demolished and regenerated.
While in the twin city of St Petersburg this mural had been recreated to typify the Socialist Realism school, which commenced in the 1930s. Seen in Septmber at the State Museum of Russian Political History.
Great B&W.
ReplyDeleteThat is a neat mural the first photo is good as well
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrast!
ReplyDeleteA stark difference. The first, of course, has the benefit of reality, if one wants to call it a benefit.
