Artist Leo Katz points the "Youth Arisen" panel of his mural at the Frank Wiggins Trade School, Los Angeles, 1935

Description:
Leo Katz points to a section of the central, "Youth Arisen," panel of his mural of three panels. In this panel a central youth, with his eyes closed, is shown between creative uses of technology (like the movie camera seen in this photograph) and destructive uses as in war. The overall theme of the murals shown in the other two panels is the history of the uses of tools serving the creative and destructive passions of man within the context of the Toltec and Aztec cultures.
