- Description:
- Of his twin murals painted at the MARTA station in Decatur, artist Larry Connatser explained, "Stylized fantasies of the two favorite American vacations--escapes to the mountain and sea, were my theme. . . . A stylized ocean and mountain flowers enhance these expressions."
Image of a detail of one of the twin murals at the Decatur, Georgia Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) station (paint on architectural brick, each 66 x 26 ft.). Stylized flowers dot a colorful geometric representation of the Georgia landscape. The paintings are visible to passengers at both the concourse and platform levels. The mural was created by Georgia artist Larry Connatser in 1981 and depicts stylized renderings of the mountains and sea as vacation destinations. - Metadata URL:
