Advertising Art
Commentary:
This very simple but eloquent work is on the side of a small church
in Woodlawn. It is advertising art rather than religious art,
trying to let you know about the place more than to express a
religious feeling, but it does that well.
Have you ever seen those hands before? Flournoyd Brown is a young
l mural artist who has works all over the city. He is self-taught
who has learned most of his technique from studying the classics
of the Renaissance. The hands are something loves and found in
a classic work of art.
Mr. Brown has serious intent in his advertising art. He hopes
it can be a way of beautifying and revitalizing the South Side.
Undoubtedly, he is correct--such works add tremendously to any
neighborhood.
