Flatiron Mural (Toronto)
By Vidar
Artist Derek Michael Besant
By Derek Michael Besant in Berczy Park, Toronto, Canada.
Canadian artist Derek Michael Besant created this “trompe l’oeil” mural on the back of the Gooderham Building in 1980. The mural appears to be a canvas screwed onto the façade with the edges of the canvas fluttering in the wind.
