So this is a photograph of a painting of sculpture (of products of the Hand of God, if you’re religious). Daniel Hauben’s magnificent twin murals decorate the stairwells of the new (2012) library at Bronx Community College (formerly NYU’s uptown campus). Hauben’s style permits considerable artistic license; his selective representations of the borough are not photographic.
