English: "The History of Transportation” WPA Mural by Helen Lundeberg Inglewood Grevillea Art Park Created 1940, originally located at Centinela Park
More information at The Living New Deal The mural “History of Transportation” is 8 feet high and 240 feet long, composed of 60 panels. It is made of cast concrete and terrazzo paneled walls and is one of the last examples of petrachrome mosaic art (that is made up of tiny stones). It is the largest petrachrome mural in the world. The mural was created by artist Helen Lundeberg with the support of the WPA’s Federal Art Project in 1939-42. Originally installed in the nearby Centinela Park, the mural was recently restored and moved to its current location at Grevillea Park. A series of metal plaques or “kiosks” at the site and pictured here explain the mural’s design, history and context.
