The East Side Gallery, Thierry Noir's cartoon heads, Known for his signature brightly coloured cartoon heads, French artist Thierry Noir is famous for being the first person to paint on the Berlin Wall. For five years during the 1980s, Noir illegally painted the western side of the Berlin Wall with bold, cartoonish images of animals and human faces, evading police and border guards. In part due to this dangerous environment, and his consequent need for speed, his murals feature few colours and avoid complex figures. The Berlin Wall, a former symbol of division, is now the world's largest open-air gallery, featuring 105 murals by artists from across the globe.Berlin, Germany, 19/10/2019
