2Walk Through a Sunrise

“Hometown USA · Waco, Texas” — flat-color geometric muralMURAL

A sunrise painted around a corner, so you can turn into it.

This one is a 1950s travel poster that grew to the size of a building — navy and coral and mustard blocks, a fat orange wave rolling under the words HOME TOWN USA, and then a sun the size of a house coming up over WACO, TEXAS. Here's the part the artist got exactly right: the sunburst is parked on the building's corner, so the rays bend around the edge. You don't look at this sunrise. You walk through it.
