Description: "In this illustrated book, Romy Golan explores mural and mural-like works in Europe from the 1920s to the 1950s, beginning with Monet's work on the Nympheas at the Musee de l'Orangerie in Paris, and ending dramatically with Le Corbusier's huge tapestries in Chandigarh, India." "This book is about mural paintings that are not convinced they belong on walls; such strange objects as mosaics designed to be disassembled; paintings that resemble large scale photographs, or photomurals; and tapestries that functioned as portable woolen walls."--Jacket.
