[Design for mural in unidentified bar or restaurant.] [Study for mural] 1910

This 1910 design by Winold Reiss is a study for a mural, likely intended for a bar or restaurant. The colorful composition features stylized figures engaged in various activities, set against a background of abstract shapes and geometric patterns. Reiss, known for his Art Deco style, used bold colors and simplified forms to create a lively and decorative effect that would have been well-suited for a public space. The design's use of geometric shapes and a sense of movement recalls the aesthetic of the Art Deco movement, which was gaining popularity in the early 20th century.
