Martin_Pal, here's another. :) North Main Street showing, from left to right, the Pico House...the Merced Theater...the Masonic Building and several other buildings. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/NUbrAL.jpg eBay :previous: note the huge white sign advertising SIGNS on the side of the Merced Theater building. As most of you know, it's visible in many vintage aerials of the area. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...538/kEXvHk.jpg So, everything to the right of this red line is long gone.

(the trees have grown and now block the view of the Pico House :() -or maybe it's the low angle of the google_camera http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...905/FvyZbn.jpg gsv __ As a reminder, here is the Pico House, The Merced Theater and the Masonic Building back in the 1870s. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/905/rnB5Yy.jpg http://waterandpower.org/museum/Earl...20(1800s).html |
ok, just for fun, I decided to enlarge the slide. I was trying to see the magazine covers on that board.

Leo Katz mural "Youth Arisen", Frank Wiggins Trade School, Los Angeles, 1935
Quote:
The heads near Youth's knees may represent the Aztec and Toltec cultures, which were said to be contrasted in the side panels. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6...14704%2BPM.jpg e_r (detail) These days, Katz' references seem obscure (to me anyway). Maybe they were obvious in 1935. P.S. The Living New Deal was very excited about "your" mural e_r, but they know nothing, except the info you and oldstuff found, which I'd sent along to them. |
This was a two car automobile accident injuring three people; 1987.

Also, I've painted murals and posters since I was in the 5th grade. Mr. Katz needs some help to clarify his ideas. That mural contains so many strange and obdurate elements, I really can't make sense of it. Maybe it made sense to him in 1935 but even then the locals found it ''ghastly, horrible and grotesque". As I said before...that ''Speedo" really dominates the entire scene [worn by the youth with NO hands{?}.]! |

Wow, that picture of Brown with his wife. He was around 60 or thereabouts and look how well he's built! We use comedy terms like "pratfall" and "physical comedy" and never think how athletic these men had to be to pull off those stunts that look so effortless.
