Another from Paint Louis. Besides the beautiful, evocative portrait, the background is of particular interest to me. The view is looking west toward the Arch and downtown from the Illinois side of the river. However, it isn’t today’s downtown, but from decades past, when the Arch was newer and I went to work there 51 years ago. Modern buildings are absent and the one by the left leg was razed long ago. Was the artist aware of this? If so, why was this picture used?
