Favorite Murals, 2022

 

Diego Rivera, Detroit Institute of Arts. A long-term favorite.

I love murals and other street art, and I enjoy participating in the weekly collection of blog posts that feature murals at the blog Sami's Colorful World. This week’s collection is the last of 2022, so I have selected some of my favorite murals that I have seen during the past year.

  5. I think the Diego Rivera is my favorite but the last one of the gymnast is so powerful. These are all great. Thank you for sharing.
