Summary Of Going To The Olympics By Frank Romero
The image shown known as, "Going to the Olympics," by Frank Romero is a very interesting piece of art and historic not just to residents of California but to the whole United States. The name of this mural signifies the excitement that people had for the 1984 Olympics held in Los Angeles, California. This was important to people in the US because the Olympic games is rarely held in the United States and Los Angeles holding the events was also amazing to be a part of at the time. Everything in this picture from the Cars being different colors to the imagery shown with the hearts makes itself and outstanding piece of American history.
Frank Romero representing the car culture with different colored cars and shapes is interesting to me. From
what is shown in the image, Romero thought that at the time, cars came in all shapes, sizes, and colors and the citizens of Los Angeles really demonstrated this by being in many types of cars at the time. Also, the 1st and 5th car from the left have people in a open car with no roof on in, really showing the variety of people's minds of the different types of cars they ride in LA. This demonstrates that many people from all kind of backgrounds wanted to go see the Olympic games too to show how much pride the US has for these events.
Frank Romero was commissioned with other artists in the area to paint a mural to commemorate the 1984 Olympic games that took place in Los Angeles. The cars in this mural signified the car culture at the time and how tastes kept evolving with people obtaining a variety of cars and many people among the Los Angeles community were a part of this culture. Due to the abundance of gangs and graffiti, taggers has sadly tagged over this fantastic mural
