New Mural Takes Flight on Bridge Street in Mayville
Kari Karnitz, Journalist

A new public art project is transforming downtown Mayville, as artist James Barany completes a large-scale mural on the west side of the Krieser Construction building at 20 Bridge St.
The mural is inspired by Goose Explosion, the iconic photograph taken by Mayville native Edgar Mueller and published in Life magazine in 1966. The mural serves as a tribute to one of the area’s most recognizable images.
Rather than painting each goose individually by hand, Barany said the mural uses a stencil-based process to create the effect. He developed 22 variations of goose stencils, each extrapolated directly from the original photograph, to build the flock of roughly 500 geese across the wall while giving the finished piece movement and depth while maintaining the sense of motion that made Mueller’s photograph of approximately 2,000 geese erupting into flight so memorable. .
“This is a tribute to that photograph,” Barany said. “I’m kind of making an homage to it rather than trying to recreate it because it’s just impossible. But I was up for the challenge.”
