Brooklyn polytechnic murals introduce novel art technique

Flanking the main entrance of the new Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute building adjoining the Civic Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., are two large decorative panels that symbolize Polytechnic´s work in the fields of science and engineering. They represent a new technique in mural design and execution, based on the passage of light through multiple colors and layers of a modern technological material, Plexiglas acrylic plastic.
