The artist was sadly gone already. And by now is this Heinrich - we had snow, then it warmed up and it was all icy/mudddy.
Note the bow tie in German-flag-colors.
The cite says:
"Denk ich an Deutschland
in der Nacht, bin ich um den Schlaf gebracht!"
Heinrich Heine
in der Nacht, bin ich um den Schlaf gebracht!"
Heinrich Heine
"I think of Germany
in the night, I lost my sleep!"
Heinrich Heine
in the night, I lost my sleep!"
Heinrich Heine
Wiki says: "Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (/ˈhaɪnə/; German: [ˈhaɪnʁɪç ˈhaɪnə] ⓘ; born Harry Heine; 13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856) was a German poet, writer and literary critic. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert."

Loved the last photo!
Imagine dressing up to see cars!
...a chalk painting?
Thank you and dito, cheers
The good old days...
Funny thought indeed.
Yips!
That mural is fabulous, Iris.
Lovely tribute
The car salesmen (and women) still prefer to sell to a man, and the wife would of course get to pick the colors! I'll never forget the red and white Plymouth my father came home with, and introduced it as a sporty car (a sedan with push button gear shifters.) Get a woman involved please!
Heine is a very fascinating poet and writer. The Nazis tried to obliterate his existence but they failed. One of his poems/songs was so famous that they changed the author to “anonymous.”

Thank you - wish I was much taller!
Yes, a nice find.
LOL, I let my boss pick the color, but I always chose the car.
He was quite a man...
I don't think much has changed when buying cars. Except you don't have to get dressed up anymore especially the hat and gloves.
I am just glad I don´t need a car anymore...
Amazing mural.
Whoever did that art did beautiful work.
I wonder if I have heard any of his poems on the classical music station i listen to?
Sad I´m so small, though!
Yes, and sadly already gone...
That's a splendid mural!
I like chalk drawings and that could be counted as a mural too. I remember the days when we dressed up to go shopping, everyone looked so nice. but in the summer we were always so hot, with hats and gloves on the women and some had lightweight coats even! Suits for the men of course. People are more casual now but much cooler.
Sadly not a better shot....
Wish I was taller to have gotten a better perspective of the chalk-mural.
Gloves and coats in summer?! Oh, yikes! Sounds very British indeed.
Good mural.
Sadly I didn´t meet the artist...
