The mural — what the News calls a "classic piece of Americana" — depicts a 1954 gas station and has been a local landmark. But the station's owner has received a lawyer letter from Chevron (which now owns the Texaco brand) telling him he is in violation federal trademark laws. The painted mural, in short, must go. For now, the gas station's owner has covered the artwork with black plastic to hide the offending logos.Why doesn't he simply paint over them? Years ago, a Bull Durham tobacco sign was painted on the side of a Port Townsend building. Some prudish citizens objected to the graphic display of the parts that make a bull, well, a bull. The sign painter was recalled to paint in an imaginary fence to fig-leaf the animal's not-so-privates. The altered sign is still visible today. But in the Magnolia mural's case, Texaco logos are sprinkled throughout the design. Painting them out isn't an option, says owner Ric Kastner. "It would look like [poop] if you did that." But the controversy raises a question: When is folk art simply folk art, and when does it cross the line to violate intellectual property laws? And what about pop art? Should museums receive cease and desist orders if they hang Andy Warhol's soup cans?If anyone has a picture of the original pre-draped Texaco mural, please send it along.

Give it historical status then the lawyer would be estopped (lawyers hate being estopped more than almost anything) from complaning.BTW...who ratted out to the oil company in the first place? Why a big stink all of a sudden? Is there some underlying beef unknown to anyone?Just curious...The PiperReply Post a new commentEdward Hopper set a precedentReport a violationPosted by: Eugene Carlson on Nov 8, 2007 12:34 AMPerhaps it's the obligation of every trademark holder to show that they're vigorously defending their brand identification, even if it's obvious fair use. I'm no lawyer. But if I were the Magnolia gas station owner, I'd remind the Chevron lawyers that Edward Hopper used Mobil's iconic "flying red horse", i.e. Pegasus, logo as a predominant feature in one of his most famous paintings -- GAS. (1940, Museum of Modern Art, New York.) Did Mobil's lawyers complain when the painting went on public display or did they secretly thank Hopper for giving their brand even more visibility? Does the fact that Exxon Mobil retired the Pegasus logo as the public face of its product account for the fact that the flying red horse is portrayed on dishware, faux antique signs, and other products being manufactured today?Reply Post a new commentAdvertisement Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement About Crosscut » Crosscut Seattle is an online newspaper for the Pacific Northwest, including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia.
