Description
-
Word’s painting is a partial pre-study of his Hannah Hall mural. The painting, featuring a family in a small room with a fireplace, washboard, mounted gun, and radio, is done in a geometric style frequently seen in the art of Biggers’ students from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Word’s full mural design includes adjacent panels depicting a church, an abstract figure with a bubble-like head, and an homage to the Wizard of Oz.
