Over the weekend, we posted about “Amistad América,” the extraordinarily ambitious abstract mural by José Parlá at UT’s Rowling Hall, commissioned by the 10-year-old Landmarks program.
That got folks talking on social media. You can add to the chat.
Carla McDonald: “Love these pix!”
Mary Margaret Quadlander: “Isn’t it stunning?!”
Alice Illian-Masquelette: “Wow!”
Julio Lozano: “Por La Raza!”
Evelina Rodrigue Warren: “Heard an interview with him on KUT. Can’t wait to see it.”
Phyllis Jackson Stegall: “Magnificent!”
Deborah Hamilton Lynne: “I must see it just because you clearly love it.”
Rick Smitherman: “Not as impressive when you discover it is paint by numbers.”
Me: “That would be a whole lot of numbers.”
Rick Smitherman: “It is indeed.”
