Description
English: Title: A rainbow appears over the unusual levee along the Arkansas River in Pueblo, Colorado. It seems to descend upon the sketched head of the wise-cracking movie and television comedian Groucho Marx. His image is part of the long and eclectic mural on the levee walls

Physical description: 1 photograph : digital, tiff file, color.

Notes: Forms part of: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive.; The long and eclectic mural on the levee walls first appeared as whimsical graffiti in the 1970s and is said to be the longest, if not the most artistic, in the world. It all began with the appearance one morning of the drawing of a fish, created clandestinely overnight. At first the fish and all the art that followed were detested by many as a debasement of public property, but the art grew on the community and was soon promoted as something special and worth preserving. In 2015, the city began to remove the murals, not because of artistic sensibilities but because of repairs to the levee. It promised to allow new murals to appear once the repairs were completed.; Purchase; Carol M.
