| Street art in the 18b. Artist unknown. | FIELD NOTES: Down the street from “Mug Shots”at Brett Wesley Gallery, the well curated exhibition of political celebrity by Diane Bush that closed Friday, this paper thin wheat paste offers some harsh commentary on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. . . Heads-Up: The typical play off the word 'Dump' is pedestrian, and this version of The Donald has a polished Made-for-TV look. What has weight is the running family, the image used for Caltrans signs along I-5, repeated in the background on a pastel field of blue and red. . . Campaign Note: Trump will be in Las Vegas Monday to hold a rally at South Point at 7 p.m., ahead of Tuesday's Republican caucus. |
