"9 13 CALLE SAN GREGORIO SEES THE RESULTS OF 2016 ELECTION,"
SALAMANCA, SPAIN
Right
after the 2016 presidential election, Pam and I visited Salamanca,
Spain. I am a narrative visualist. This means I make art from the
stories that my experience of this world evokes. It's an ancient
tradition and in some way colors the way I look at things. I was on a
walk with a fellow tourist along the Douro river road outskirts of
this exquisite sand stone city, when this unusual building got my
attention. I walked up to its imperessive gate and this scene
perfectly captured my deepest angst.
The
unusual building turned out to be Salamanca's museum of Art Nouveau
and Art Deco.
When
I learned that I wondered if the curators of this benchmark of
beautiy might have been pleasantly amused at my geopolitical use of
their facade.
