Description
Photograph of a mural depicting Macarthur Park, Los Angeles, [s.d.]. The mural stands across a room which appears to be under construction as its framework is bare. In the mural a calm lake lies at center with a line of palm trees on its near shore and a busy freeway winding over its right edge. Various trees crowd the foreground while large buildings riddled with tiny windows blanket the background. Palm trees are dispersed among the city while a faint mountain side stands in the distance.
