Question
In the 1980's, there was a huge painting on the side of a building in Brixton/Camberwell. I thought it was a Dali piece, but I can't remember the name of it or who the original artist was. The painting had aircraft at the top which changed into birds as they came further down the painting. What was this painting called and who was the original artist? Please help.
Tania - thanks for your kind comments - I will check out the web address you've given me. I appreciate you taking the time out to respond. Merry Christmas (or whatever) .. 'Happy New Year' is , hopefully, not offensive to anyone - so I hope 2007 brings you great joy!

| Comment | Hi Jeni, thanks for taking the time to reply. (Even though you did not know the painting in question) I have been told it was a mural called 'Nuclear Dawn' and have since been on the web to view it, but it is not quite how i remembered it from all those years ago. If you would like to see it, go to www.peacenow.org.uk/.../picts/coldharbour1_t.jpg Possibly my memory is not as good as i think it is! Thanks once again for your time. Tania | ||
