I mentioned last week that Stan and I met to see an exhibit in a gallery of the work of Don McCullin, a British photojournalist who was a war photographer, among other subjects he photographed. We ate lunch in a nice little diner and when we came out found this painting on the side of a building across the street. We spent some time looking at it but didn't know the significance of it. Well tonight I found out the story. It features a large, colorful, face-to-face portrait of Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi by Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra. The artwork, painted in Kobra's signature kaleidoscopic style, symbolizes the ideals of compassion, unity, and acceptance shared by the two humanitarians. What a perfect thing to see in these terrible days of discord in our country!
