February Art Walk & ArtPark: Red Theme
— It’s More Than a Color
Cracked Crystal by H. Benjamin Diaz
Mosaic by Millard Sheets
A PVAA Founding Artist
This Millard Sheets mosaic is located on the outside south-facing wall of US Bank at the NE corner of Indian Hill & Foothill Blvds in Claremont, CA
Millard Sheets, a PVAA founding artist who was Director and President around 1952, said the art association’s purpose is to build a basic love of art, requiring vision and sincere effort to achieve something meaningful and to foster deep aesthetic feeling. (Talk given March 17, 1952.)
This mosaic shows First Nation people on horseback pausing among the many blooming yuccas on Mt. Baldy and its valleys, which fill the area with a strong, lovely scent.
