About This Piece

Two painted wood relief murals measure 14' by 7' 8" each and face each other at opposite sides of the Rotunda. They depict an abstracted view of Denver's landmarks and symbols during the twentieth century. On the north wall, "Beginning a Century" shows Denver with a low horizon, many churches and several symbols of the City's aim toward freedom and growth. "Ending a Millennium" on the south wall, projects Denver with a high skyline, as well as other monuments and symbols of the City's expansion. 

Denver Post art critic Steven Rosen wrote this about the pair of murals: "This is not a traditional mural painting. The artist combines vivid painting and playfully agile sculpture, often playing tricks with our sense of perspective, to present commonplace things in a fresh, often illusionistic way."
