The style of the painting is very early Bowers, if he indeed painted it in 1929 he was only 24. As John-O mentioned, he worked with another California artist during that period: On 2009-10-02 11:38, JOHN-O wrote: In an earlier post, I noted there were 1930's-era Bowers murals at South Gate City Hall......I noticed that works of this era were done in conjunction with an Arthur Prunier. A painter, teacher, designer and commercial artist, Arthur Prunier studied at the Massachusetts Normal Art School; Washington State Teacher's College; the Art Students League of Los Angeles; the San Diego School Art & Crafts........During the 1930s he was active with the Federal Art Project. Under their auspices, he painted a mural in the Ruth Home School in El Monte with Frank Bowers.
