From My Modern Met:
Street artists JR and José Parlá recently teamed up to create enormous and yet very intimate portraits of senior citizens who survived the Cuban Revolution (1953-1959). It’s a continuation of a series called The Wrinkles of the City that JR started in Cartegena, Spain and that was recreated in Shanghai and Los Angeles.

These intimate portraits are a great example of Leonardo’s maxim that intense observation is as creative as invention. We should all aspire to be as observant as these artists obviously are. Thank you for sharing their work.
