"No More Drugs!" Mural Turtel Onli 1971
A youthful Turtel Onli was not able to complete this mural near the Cabrini Green Public Housing Project in Chicago, in 1971, because the Chicago Police confronted him about it. They voiced their negative opinions about its content and threatened to arrest the 19 year old Onli if he returned to complete it.
When one look close at the stylizations Onli was using one sees to early percolations of his signature Rhythmistic Future-Primitif approach to the Visual Arts.
Fortunately this and other Mural in Chicago are not archived and available per the Northwestern University, in Evanston IL.
