Steven Salerno’s artwork brings Harvey Milk’s face to
light. In looking at photographs (and
being somewhat familiar with his story from the movie Milk with Sean Penn)
Harvey’s face simply glowed with joy and hope for the future. He brought that energy to the stages where he
spoke to crowds and inspired others to action.
Salerno’s renderings are so lifelike they bring Harvey’s story to a new
generation and by Rob Sanders’ focusing on the flag that became a symbol for
Harvey’s movement, Pride shows that the movement lives on and has been embraced
by so many the world over.
