Description: The Rainbow Swash is a prominent and colorful landmark in Boston, Massachusetts, known for its vibrant, rainbow-colored design painted on a large natural gas storage tank. Originally created in 1971 by artist Corita Kent, the mural was intended to bring a message of hope and positivity during a time of social and political upheaval. The tank, located in the Dorchester neighborhood, has since become an iconic symbol of the city, visible to thousands of commuters traveling along the Southeast Expressway. Despite occasional controversy and debates over its maintenance and preservation, the Rainbow Swash remains a beloved piece of public art, celebrated for its bold colors and uplifting spirit.
