Cuba – Mural de la Prehistoria

The amazing Mural de la Prehistoria (Prehistoric Mural) is painted on the wall of the Pita mogote in Sierra de los Órganos, 4 km west of the town of Viñales, in western Cuba.
The work of the wonderful Prehistoric Mural began in 1961 following the design of Leovigildo González Morillo, who acquired his knowledge mainly from the teachings of the famous artist Diego Rivera. The Mural has a length of 120 m, being one of the biggest open-air paintings in the world and it took four years and twenty farmers to complete it.

When I was in Cuba in 2010, the wall was being restored. Two men were hanging on ropes and repainted the colors with brushes! See picture above.

woher kommt die Streifen-Struktur?

Ernst, ich denke, die sind gemalt. Wenn man das Bild aus der Nähe betrachtet, sieht man die gelben, roten und grünen Streifen. Wenn sie nicht die ganze Fläche bemalen, können sie so auch viel Arbeit und Farbe sparen.
Man sieht auch im grauen Teil, dass dort keine Streifen sind. Die sind also nicht strukturell. So nehme ich an.
