… with apologies to Julie Morrison.
Whenever I hear the term “Expose Yourself To Art,” I think of the above photograph. It was taken in or about the early 1980’s, and at the time I thought it was clever.
I would have likely forgotten the picure, but later I learned that the man in the photo was the mayor of Portland, Oregon, and he was promoting a local arts festival. (I admired his creative imagination. I admired his dedication. At the same time, I wondered if he was re-elected.)
Did the idea work? Ya might say so. 28 years later the poster is still being sold along with other festival promotional pictures.

So ... what does that tell you?
