Description
This detail of a corner in progress and shows an Aztec design, possibly a deity, covering what was once an eagle. "Slide Photo of the "Master Plan", mural started in March 1973, show Salvador Torres attempting to integrate the S-Abuts all sides as one mural surface. See the corner of this panel. This lower portion once supported an image of an eagle with wide spread wings. One wing on one side, and the other wing on the other side. This surface attempt failed, as well as the second, and third. The idea to give the mural surface a complete feeling of being finished takes the corner spaces and makes a creative challenge that requires a sensitivity and appreciation for corners. In the compositional structure of the mural, all corners can serve to enhance the drama, distortions, emphasis of the artists visual statement in monumental mural work." Salvador Torres
