Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag



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.
