Coit Tower Part Two - Interior Views; So Beautiful!



Executed under the Public Works of Art Project a Federal New Deal employment project,


the Coit Tower Murals have always been a little controversial


because of the "Leftist" associations claimed both by the artists who made them,


and the Lefty tendencies assigned to them by others.


The quality of the work is uneven, some of it executed by people who were students at the time.


But, I found these last two paintings to be exceedingly beautiful in the colorations and their simplicity.

What do you think?
