Photos taken October 2021. ⠀⠀⠀"Very proud to finally have a fresco in the region where I grew up.This time I painted a Marianne from the south, who wears the insignia of those who first liberated the region during the Second World War, the skirmishers. A way to pay tribute to those who fought for our values. She also wears a poppy to defend the movement "the poppy movement" and all the green movement. To remind us that our generation also has its battles to fight." @combo_ck⠀⠀⠀"Marianne has been the national personification of the French Republic since the French Revolution, as a personification of liberty, equality, fraternity and reason, as well as a portrayal of the Goddess of Liberty." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne⠀⠀⠀"Marianne is the symbol of the French Revolution. The poppy movement, launched in September 2018 by Charlie Hebdo journalist Fabrice Nicolino, calls on the French to mobilize to demand a ban on synthetic pesticides in France. Poppies are wildflowers that grow in fields and are controlled with pesticides." - my French friend Hélène.⠀⠀⠀https://nousvoulonsdescoquelicots.org/traductions/petition-to-ban-all-synthetic-pesticides/⠀⠀⠀2020 interview https://streetartparis.fr/interview-combo/⠀⠀⠀2015 interview https://www.anotherscratchinthewall.com/2015/09/20/interview-to-combo-the-culture-kidnapper/⠀⠀⠀Artist website: https://combo-streetart.com Mike Franks https://streetartcities.com/users/0127e760-c655-40c3-9fd9-4a94f211a361 https://streetart.media/c/c71b70f3-e79e-4ca3-816e-a40c8acc8149/1024.jpg 1024 480 480 <iframe src="https://streetartcities.com/markers/37c3fbb0-96d5-4754-969d-bc997bed75ad/embed" width="480" height="480" style="border:none;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%;" loading="lazy" allow="fullscreen; storage-access" title="&quot;Marianne aux coquelicots&quot; (Marianne with poppies) by COMBO Culture Kidnapper"></iframe> 3600
