Image description:
|
"Time" was done in 1941 by Sert. It is 5,000 sq. ft. (oil on canvas mounted to the ceiling). Heroic -sized Titans symbolize Past, Present and Future. The muscular figures (implying the power of Time) evaluate man's achievements. Both the scales and the Ttitan's feet rest on the actual columns of the lobby.
