Urbanautica Article 10/16

What drew me to this article were photos of these abstract structures and buildings depicted in nature like the one below. The artist behind these photos, Jan Kempenaers, is known for being very meticulous and the majority of  his photo series' consist of especially bold photos. The series provided in the article is know as his most popular, the Spomenik series. This series depicts World War II Memorials in the former Yugoslavia. The photos of these memorials are very interesting to me.

What drew me to this article is the photo of the mural "America Today" shown here. Created by Thomas Hart Benton, this mural is a representation of the 1920's America. Depicted are many different things about the era; the rise in industry and technological growth, also hands grasping for coffee and bread during the great depression. The article tells about how often this mural has been moved since it's creation throughout New York until it found its current home at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Benton, being a former stage hand, created this mural to appear as if scenes were changing throughout a play. I found this detail very interesting.
