Reflective of the trend in WPA mural art to depict local and regional themes, William Sumner's mural located in the Brett Memorial Hall presents the artist's vision of Cleveland in 1833. As with all muralists commissioned to work at the library, Sumner was chosen by the director of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Wlliam M. Milliken. Completed in 1934 as part of the Public Works of Art Projects, the mural depicts animals being crowded out of Public Square by an encroaching city. | Creator: Tim Evanson | Date: 2016 | Source: Flickr, CC BY-SA 3.0Download Original File
