https://www.eduardokobra.com/projeto/19/dali > There is no difference between the art that is displayed in galleries and museums and that which is on the streets. This is a certainty by Eduardo Kobra - and also the idea behind the first mural painted by the Brazilian in Spain, highlighting the face of none other than Salvador Dalí. The Catalan surrealist painter has always been one of Kobra's references, an icon of creativity, innovation and rupture: in a new rupture, he is now on the façade of the Puertas de Castilla Cultural Center, in Murcia, Spain. A work of art just outside a cultural center - more precisely, on the street, the most democratic art museum in existence.

Cold Morning on the Range is an oil-based painting created by American artist Frederic Remington in 1904. The painting depicts a man on the American frontier, riding a large, brown, wild horse. The horse is obviously not trained because it is jumping and generally looking rowdy. In the background are many other men with horses, apparently on a cattle drive. Mountains are also visible in the distance, which perhaps leads the viewer to assume that this is the Goodnight-Loving Trail and the mountains are a range of the Rocky Mountains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Morning_on_the_Range
Liberty Leading the People (French: La Liberté guidant le peuple [la libɛʁte ɡidɑ̃ lə pœpl]) is a painting of the Romantic era by the French artist Eugène Delacroix, commemorating the July Revolution of 1830 that toppled King Charles X. A bare-breasted woman of the people with a Phrygian cap personifying the concept and Goddess of Liberty leads a varied group of people forward over a barricade and the bodies of the fallen, holding aloft the flag of the French Revolution – the tricolour, which again became France's national flag after these events – in one hand and brandishing a bayonetted musket with the other. The figure of Liberty is also viewed as a symbol of France and the French Republic known as Marianne. The painting is sometimes wrongly thought to depict the French Revolution of 1789. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Leading_the_People

Guayasamín, one of the greatest South American artists of the XX century, created this masterpiece following the US-backed Coup d'Etat that happened in Chile in 1973. He tried to depict his pain after learning about what happened in Chile, including the torture and murder of his friends, such as Victor Jara, a famous Chilean songwriter. This piece is part of a collection called " [La edad de la ira](https://www.artviewing.gallery/exhibition/section.vm?id=76) " (The Age of Rage), in which he describes through his art the struggles experienced by many cultures due to colonial intervention. I highly invite you to check out his work during this period, since many of the topics he covered are very relevant today. In these days, Lágrimas de Sangre (Tears of Blood) is what many people experience watching what is currently happening in places like Palestine or, more recently, Lebanon.

Batik is made by drawing or stamping wax on a cloth to prevent colour absorption during the dyeing process. This creates a patterned negative when the wax is removed from the dyed cloth. Artisans may create intricate coloured patterns with multiple cycles of wax application and dyeing. Patterns and motifs vary widely even within countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batik

Ninger would buy bond paper from Crane & Company, in Dalton, Massachusetts, cut it to the same size as the $50 and $100 United States Notes he was copying, then soak the paper in a dilute coffee solution. He would align the paper over a genuine banknote, place the two on a piece of glass, and trace the resulting image. He used a camel’s hair brush to put colors on the note, imitated the silk threads with red and blue inks, and suggested rather than duplicated the intricate geometric lathework. **Notably, he omitted the line crediting the Bureau of Engraving and Printing from all of his bills, and some of them were also missing the counterfeiting warning**. When asked why he omitted the Bureau of Engraving and Printing credit on his bills, Ninger responded, "Because dey [sic] didn't make dem [sic]."
