- Press “NEXT” above to continue on to the next photo essay: “The Artist: Stephen Magsig” – Everyday Stephen Magsig creates an oil painting of urban Detroit, and soon he will have completed his 800th painting. Mr. Magsig lives in Ferndale with his wife, fellow artist Janet Hamrick. He’s been a successful painter for over 30 years and is represented by galleries in Birmingham, Michigan, and New York. Most of his attention is spent on his Postcards from Detroit project, in which he paints daily a 5×7-inch painting and sells it on Ebay with prices between $100- $200.

Does anybody know where I can get a photograph of the Father Gabriel Richard mural (mosaic?) that stood in the old Detroit bus station? Wasn't it a WPA project also?
Thanks a lot!
These murals are beautiful as history, social comment and art. Thank you for presenting them in an easily-accessible place.
You missed a beautiful picture at the Howell Post Office It was at the old Post Office but was moved to the new location 325 S. Michigan Ave.
You missed a beautiful art piece at Howell Post Office 325 S Michigan. Moved from the old location.
The activities depicted are so physical! Imagine what they'd look like today…..
