Located in front of the Montparnasse Railway Station in Paris, this chalk drawing was created by Julian Beever to commemorate the 10th anniversary of a 2001 accident at a petrochemical plant. View the next slide to see the painting as a work-in-progress.The chaulk drawings are awesome. I have seen one that was like a huge earthquake crevice along the street. Trick is, they have to be viewed from a certain spot or you miss the whole illusion. The people in the background of this crater pic probably think it's a bunch of scribbling from their perspective. Don't mean to take away from them, they are way cool, can't believe the talent and vision that it would require. Can't help but wonder what the legends like Picasso or Rembrandt would have thought about this kind of art.
