Christopher Launi of murals, mosaics, and architectural details featured in Long Beach. There are iconic local projects such as the grand mosaic “Recreation in Long Beach” that was originally made for the municipal auditorium but now graces the side of a parking structure on Third Street in downtown. Other pieces are from Long Beach institutions such as: Long Beach Airport, Rogers Middle School, Long Beach Polytechnic High School, Wilson High School, Long Beach Public Library, Jane Addams Elementary School, Lindbergh Middle School, Washington Middle School, and Rogers Middle School.
The photographs are reproduced on canvas and look almost like paintings. Photographs of public buildings reproduced on Sintra board include Fire Station Number 7, the Port of Long Beach, St. Mary Medical Center, a sample of easel art in the collection of the Long Beach Museum of Art, Veterans Memorial building (which is now gone), and sewer construction along American Avenue (now Long Beach Boulevard).
The artworks will be available for pick-up as soon as Dec. 20, 21 and 22, and cash, check, Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
The Rebuilding for the Future: A New Deal for Long Beach 1933-1942 exhibition was funded in part by the Long Beach Navy Memorial Heritage Association, Downtown Long Beach Associates, the Long Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Long Beach Airport.
