	This mural was painted in 1975 by Gilberto Ramirez on the [[Cogswell Polytechnical College\|Cogswell Polytechnical College]] building near 26th and Folsom. The building was later torn down and replaced by a multi-unit, low-income apartment building that fills the block between 26th and Cesar Chavez along Folsom.		This mural was painted in 1975 by Gilberto Ramirez on the [[Cogswell Polytechnical College\|Cogswell Polytechnical College]] building near 26th and Folsom. The building was later torn down and replaced by a multi-unit, low-income apartment building that fills the block between 26th and Cesar Chavez along Folsom. Ramirez originally designed this mural for an industrial location in Gary, Inciana, which is why it seems out of place in San Francisco. When he found himself in San Francisco with the wall offered to him, he put this mural up in an astonishingly short period of time as local muralists watched and marveled at his technique. The palette and design (especially use of flames and expressionist painting style) are heavily influenced by José Clemente Orozco.

		Local artist [[Talks:_Art_%26_Politics_/_2007-2010#jan16-08\|Andrew Schoultz]] achieved some fame in the 2010s as a member of the emerging "Mission School," after painting many murals around the neighborhood. One of the most dramatic of his works has been obliterated from its prominent spot on Lexington Alley at 18th Street, where it adorned a shop called "The Apartment."

		The famous British graffiti artist Banksy has passed through San Francisco from time to time. One of his works briefly sat under a "No Trespassing" sign in Sycamore Alley just west of Mission Street.

			This particular mural was painted in the 1990s behind a 76 Union gas station at Duboce and Market, just east of the U.S. Mint. In these January 2013 photos by Chris Carlsson you can see that the gas station is gone and is being replaced by a new building, which sits there today, a large gray glass condominium. The mural may still be behind it, but we can't see it anymore.
