Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Aug 27 15:14:46 2017, in response to Re: Historic Subway Tiles With Nothing To Do With Racism Or Even Confederacy to be Removed, posted by Michael549 on Sat Aug 26 13:12:03 2017. Actually, looking at this post, and some of the photos, it's even clearer this is just a random design.The station platform tilework is in a RED White and Blue (as well as gold, green, and other colors) design. Look at the more elaborate tiles in the mosaic band along the platform: Notice the intricate design, as well as a more elaborate X design, which was often done on platform level.  Now notice the mezzanine or hallway where the RANDOM geometric X tile design in question is (to right, the left was a later addition). It follows the same X design, the same color scheme (along with gold, green, just like the platform level), and it also follows the X design in a smaller less prominent pattern, as was almost ALWAYS done in the mezzanines and hallways.  The mezzanine tilework follows the EXACT same color scheme as the elaborate platform level X design, and the same colors, just in a less elaborate smaller version, just as most other stations do. |
