Art, after all, is in the eye of the beholder. And perhaps they should. The magic found in the Murals of York comes, in part, because of the varying styles of the artists. And those artists captured a diversity of people and topics.<br \/>\nBut to adapt what the wise man said about another art form, we&#8217;re not sure when York will get its fill of Jacobs&#8217; work, but we&#8217;ll know it when we see it.<br \/>\nAnd we haven&#8217;t seen it yet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2007\/02\/lorann-jacobs1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35096\" alt=\"lorann-jacobs1\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2007\/02\/lorann-jacobs1.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yorkblog.com\/yorktownsquare\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2007\/02\/lorann-jacobs1.jpg 512w, https:\/\/yorkblog.com\/yorktownsquare\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2007\/02\/lorann-jacobs1-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The artist with the completed statue of Marquis de Lafayette.
