Katz, Leo (1887-1982)
Assistants: Messick, Ben; Comfort, Tyrone
Removed from the Frank Wiggins Trade School, now the Losa Angeles Trade Technical College.



Mural depicted a striding, blindfolded young man with tools of hope and tools of destruction on either side. The mural was deemed inappropriate by the Los Angeles Board of Education and removed. 3 panels.



Original artist, Philip Guston, abandoned the project because of technical problems. In addition to Kats, Murray Hantman, Ruben Kadish and Harold Lehman all attempted a mural in the same location.
