Description:
The Pope of Broadway mural, located in Downtown Los Angeles, is a striking 70-foot-tall tribute to actor Anthony Quinn. Painted by artist Eloy Torrez in 1985, the mural adorns the side of the Victor Clothing Company building on Broadway. It depicts Quinn in a dynamic pose, arms outstretched, inspired by his iconic role in Zorba the Greek. The artwork celebrates Quinn’s Mexican-Irish heritage and his contributions to Hollywood, particularly as a Latino actor breaking barriers. In 2017, Torrez restored the mural, ensuring its lasting impact on LA’s cultural and artistic landscape.
