I was discussing the mural with one of our awesome volunteers and she pointed out that the Viking-type dude is actually DeSoto. Which makes sense because the building is called the DeSoto Building because it was the first indoor car dealership in Portland. <br /><br />The building itself houses the Museum of Contemporary Craft, a few art galleries, office space and space for a (currently defunct) restaurant. When I first moved her the whole building was the Daisy Kingdom building, all for that very froofy style of mother/daughter dress. <br /><br />If the Oregonian was still a real newspaper, I think they would have covered this mural, thus allowing me to see what the artist said about it. But no dice.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967372439743853589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823861851109958324.post-87218023678902621082014-10-04T18:39:35.136-07:002014-10-04T18:39:35.136-07:00Is it a Spanish Conquistitor? What I find interest...Is it a Spanish Conquistitor? What I find interesting is that the shadows of the furry/fuzzy tails (that look like they drape from over the top of the building) do not match the shadows of the dude's bust (no arms, no legs, he is a bust). What is this building for again? And have you actually asked them what it means?
