Description (Dublin Core)
A great piece of modern art shared by the painter with the public and for the neighborhood in the midst of the pandemic. It’s a self-portrait, presumably, of the painter, showing him/her/they at work with with paint and brushes. It gives two messages: one, in the portrait, copy me and wear a mask to protect yourself and us and 2) the text, hang in there, meaning keep going, have faith in yourself, be strong, or similar friendly and uplifting sentiments. It’s a very common phrase in US late 20thc-2020 and we use it with friends. So it too, is advice, to try to stay emotionally well, and almost a hug.
This is from NJ at the moment that it it is clear that New York City is the epicenter of suffering and death due to covid19 in the US and that means NJ because so many work in NYC.
My friend saw it as she took a walk outside alone while “social distancing” and probably wearing a scarf over her face or a homemade mask.
It’s great because the artist shared his/her/their work and feelings and it does make my friend in NJ and her friends all over and mine, happier. I am grateful for it.
