Tristan Eaton. 鈥淭he American Way鈥�, Long Beach
Inspired by a 1937 photograph by Margaret Bourke-White depicting a group of African American people lined up for a relief from a support station in front of a billboard that reads 鈥淲orld鈥檚 Highest Standard of Living鈥�, The American Way mural highlights the ever present inequality in American culture. It was painted for Pow! Wow! by urban artist Tristan Eaton who skillfully combined an array of images in a spray painted collage.
Tristan鈥檚 reworking of this chosen imagery analyzes the American Dreams versus the reality of the American Nightmare.
