I think the last time Rivera's murals came up, maybe it was a thread by mk, I recommended Thomas Hart Benton's murals. Maybe they're subpar. I don't know. I just really like them and always want to share. That said, and I hate to sound like a plebeian here (thank you spell check), but I really do quite enjoy advertising art. It has everything "real" art has. Color palettes. Composition. Blah. Blah. Blah. It has something though, that I think a lot of art lacks for a guy like me, and that's an understandable message. It's accessible, and for me, that makes it both enjoyable and worthwhile. That's not to say that I don't enjoy looking at a piece by the Dutch Masters for example, but I don't think I should have to take classes in art history to enjoy art. Ads? They're art. They're directed at guys like me. God damnit, I like them.
