Mural in San Francisco

After 20 mural proposals were rejected, finally one was accepted. Dissertation on Alchemy was painted on the wall of the Chemistry Building of the San Francisco State College. Abstract-surreal figures and forms laid out the theory of alchemy with ancient and classical symbols. Painted in 1937, Dissertation on Alchemy was described by the artist in a well-researched essay. The mural was recently restored and exists in the Haight Street Art Center in San Francisco.
