I previously wrote on REALNEO about "Art of the Day: Houghs Angel, by Harry Bell [1]". Since that posting, and painting, it seems Bell's patron Abe has grown his passion for this outsider artist, as there are now many new works at the pumped-up intersection at East 55th and Cedar Road, Cleveland, Ohio, featuring Abe's gas station and Bell's art.
The two most prominent new murals - which are probably 8'x8' or so - are anti-Israel.
This has grown into a real public art exhibit, not unlike the billboard paintings of Sysack on W. 25th/Pearl, on the West Side - which I previously covered on REALNEO, here [2] and here [3], mentioning "one Sysack billblog was covered in the 2002 Sun Press [4] for comparing MLK Jr. to bin Lauden, and that the billblog was set on fire, and the site of a protest led by U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones."
I wonder how many people pass Abe's a day.
