Great Basin National Park
“Can you smell the fresh pine-scented air and see the views from this majestic peak? This 2020 mural was painted in the tromp l’oeil (pronounced tromp LOY) style by Las Vegas artist, Jamie Vince. Tromp l’oeil is French for “deceive the eye.” This art technique uses realistic imagery to create an optical illusion that looks three dimensional. This mural invites you into the beauty and grandeur of Great Basin National Park.”

“Often mistaken for WPA art, post office murals were actually executed by artists working for the Section of Fine Arts. Commonly known as “the Section,” it was established in 1934 and administered by the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department. Headed by Edward Bruce, a former lawyer, businessman, and artist, the Section’s main function was to select art of high quality to decorate public buildings if the funding was available. By providing decoration in public buildings, the art was made accessible to all people.” from “Articles from EnRoute : Off The Wall: New Deal Post Office Murals” by Patricia Raynor
