Design for Cincinnati Union Terminal.] [Study for the color treatment of the ceiling 1933

This design study by Winold Reiss, created in 1933, showcases the proposed color scheme for the ceiling of the Cincinnati Union Terminal. The design features a series of horizontal bands of color, ranging from a cool blue at the bottom to warm oranges and yellows at the top, culminating in a sliver of grey at the very apex. This geometric and abstract design, characteristic of the Art Deco style, would have been a striking visual element in the grand interior of the terminal, evoking a sense of both modernity and grandeur.
