DescriptionThis image depicts a series of painted cinderblock pillars near a residential area in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The pillars are six cinderblocks high and one cinderblock thick. Only one image or painting is depicted on each cinderblock pillar. From left to right the paintings depict a Native American style depiction of a bear, a nude humanoid figure with a squared head, a blue sun with what looks like a candle in the center, and a list of painters. The base color of the pillars is a light blue but the images themselves are various pastel colors. A residential area with a tan brick wall surrounding it can be seen in the background. A parking lot with only two cars can be seen on the right side of the frame.
