Description |
The two 9’ x 12’ panels feature a male and female figure. "Courtesy of Fine Art Collection, U.S. General Services Administration" Napolitano received funding from the Federal Arts Project (FAP). According to a 1937 article in the Los Angeles School Journal, "The greatest single patron of Federal art among the schools of the Los Angeles system is Thomas Star King Junior High School, whose principal is Dr. Alice Ball Struthers. The possessions of that school could well serve as a model and be the envy of every other school in the country" (Wells, p. 25). Description Modified: 6/20/2023 |
