A photo essay book that spans the contemporary categories of murals as expressed by first and foremost the Mexican school led by Diego Rivera and continued today and made into their own styled art forms by Banksy in London and Franc Palaia in the Hudson Valley of New York as well as around the world; with the focus of the book being almost entirely set in Dutchess County along the east bank of the mid-Hudson River Valley that is both a vacation land, and part of the overall birthplace of the Hudson River School of landscape painting.  Mural categories broadly covered are original prehistoric cave art, so called traditional murals, graffiti, seasonal window art, building art, and other forms even slide projection art like the holocaust survivors projected on to buildings and bridges around New York by Gillian Laub.
