Portraits on university campuses usually portray school founders, presidents and donors, but Princeton is hanging up portraits to honor blue-collar campus workers. The artist says he wants to pay tribute to the workers and 'put them in positions of power.'
But at Princeton University, portraits of blue-collar campus workers are now taking center stage. A new set of paintings are offering a fresh perspective on the working class, racial struggle and empowerment at the Ivy league school.Mario Moore, the artist behind the paintings, views his artwork as more than just decoration. By showcasing the university's workers, he wants to pay tribute to them and"put them in positions of power," he told CNN.
After he completed the program in June, his paintings were displayed at the school's exhibition from September to November. His images made an impression on the community and the Princeton University Art Museum, which subsequently purchased a lot of his work. Moore originally was planning to paint only male workers at the school. But he struck up a casual conversation with Valeria Sykes, a dining hall worker, and was moved by her long-running dedication to the university.

A Manhattan Socialite Fell Through a Trap Door at Pottery Barn Teen and I Want to TooThere was a common, and more-than-slightly messed up fantasy held by myself and my college friends (and I’m pretty sure students at almost every university in the United States), which was the hope that one day we’d be hit by the university bus. Not like hit and killed of course, just hit and hurt badly enough that we’d be able to recoup our tuition money, pay for the rest of our schooling, and maybe have enough left over to name a building after ourselves on campus (or just graduate debt free). Unfortunately and thankfully, neither myself nor any of my friends were ever hit by the university bus.
