From 1979 to 2003 on and off...a fellow animator friend who just moved to Ventura called and told me about the murals..then i found you...look under images and you'll get the idea of how talented he was....I'm sure he didn't do the mural for the money but for the experience and the message....

Great....Gordon grant was a well known marine artist who painted a lot of tall ship paintings and was a mater at ink sketching...

I was not critic about the artist. My love for those who make art is absolute. I tried to explain the feeling inspired in me by thise scenes of work. A feeling is a personal insight and is always very "complicato". Italian is a language for the soul side of life I 'm not able to explain it in english.:) excuse me .

Sorry about the typos...master at ink sketching..published a book on whaling which was the envy of fellow Disney animators I worked with...Book is called "Greasy Luck", is available at Amazon...His paintings shouldn't be missed either...this is a classic WPA style which is nothing like his personal work...Thanks for the video Amiduffer...

You're welcome. Thanks for filling in who Grant was. I couldn't find much online about him. When did you work at Disney?

about your answer i can tell you a "adagio"( proverb)
Si mangia per vivere ma non si vive per mangiare:) ( we eat for living but we don't live to eat) but I know that is'nt easy appreciate this words when one is hungry. Nevertheless I'm happy to see you here again, we missed you , really.

hi Drew it seems to me a sad art, mirror of a poor slaved life. I'd have signed a wall with a big " WHY?"

Really? I like it. People engaged in productive work is nothing to be sad about. Especially during the depression when barely anyone was working. The New Deal hired artists because "artists have to eat too", and if a post office gets a nice mural, well, there's nothing wrong with that.
