Millard Sheets was commissioned by American Trust Company San Francisco to make two painting about the past and the future San Francisco. Beautifully composed with swirling images of flora, fauna, indigenous people, gold rush and industry in floating circle above geographical features. Millard Owen Sheets (1907-1989) was an American artist, teacher, and architectural designer. He was one of the earliest of the California Scene Painting artists and helped define the art movement. Many of his large-scale building-mounted mosaics from the mid-20th century are still extant in Southern California. This is a wonderful example of his work.
