The blue bird of happiness

30 a (640x480)

This mural, created by Holger Kurt Jäger, adorns the outside wall of a children’s daycare centre. Inside the grounds the artist worked with the children, painting walls and using stencils:

Another wall was decorated a few years earlier, unfortunately there are spaces for cars right in front.

Another mural on a Monday, seen in Düsseldorf, Germany, on the outside of a nursery. The artist is Holger Kurt Jäger.

For Monday Mural.  More murals can be seen here.

 

Max and Moritz

Max und Moritz Apotheke

These two are quite famous in Germany and are credited to be the predecessors to modern cartoons.  They are the creation of writer and artist Wilhelm Busch.  Even if you don’t speak German have a look at the book.

A pharmacy in Bad Homburg, a town near Frankfurt, Germany, has taken their name and their adorned its premises with their likeness.

Another Monday Mural hosted by Oakland Daily Photo.  For more of them, have a look here.

Try your luck!

Lotto

For once, I found a mural with a signature – Christian Schopp (but no additional information on the artist, except for his mobile phone no. in the corner ).  This is on the side of a newspaper kiosk in Bad Homburg, where magazines, tobacco, and lottery tickets are sold.

This is for Monday Murals where you can find more murals and graffiti.

Musician and knights

These murals are on two separate block of flats, marking the corner of a parking area. They are created in the same mosaic style but one is a framed panel of about 5 by 2 metres, whereas the other one covers the whole side of a two storeyed house. (Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany)

What duck? (2)

16 a

I spotted this collection of murals under a bridge and in the close of vicinity of that bridge in Lüneburg, Germany.

I like the two tone colour – blueish-grey and yellow – at the opposite spectrum of the colour wheel.  Because of the underpass and of severe time constraints (I was running with a group) these photos don’t show off the whole beauty of the arrangement.

A zest for life

11a

I seem to find these more traditional murals around here.

11d

This one – from the old part of town of “Newtown an der Weinstraße” in Rhineland Pallatium, Germany – is called “Phantastische Allegorie zu Neustadt und der Lebensfreude” (Phantastic allegorie about Neustadt and zest for life).  It was created by Werner Holz for H. Grübius (both names appear in the picture).  I’m not sure about the date, I believe I can read 1990something, the artist died in 1991.
