Swashes
January 9, 2021
"The Rainbow Swash" is the popular name for an untitled work done in 1971 by Corita Kent. The original LNG tank that it was painted on was torn down in the early 1990's, but the artwork was re-painted on the adjacent tank shown here. The tank is on the Dorchester waterfront along Route 93 (The Boston South-East Expressway.) colossal
Some interesting notes:
- Some say the blue swash is a profile of Ho Chi Minh, although Kent (a peace activist) denies the likeness was a conscious act.
- The 140-foot tall LNG storage tank is the largest copyrighted work of art in the world and a major landmark of Boston.
