Electric Light

Electric light is a light mural that was designed by the artist, Gyorgy Kepes back in 1959. This mural/project that Kepes designed was an excellent use of light in art and visual pattern awareness. What he did was stencil shapes in light emulate to make it look like a view you would see from an airplane getting ready to touch down on a city. It looks incredible now, I couldn't imagine how much respect and interest he got back in the 1950's. According to the book, he displayed it at the Smithsonian Institution in 1970 and was very liked there. I think this is a very good example f Illumination and for an artist to be this creative back over 50 years ago is just incredible and if I had tons of money I would definitely look into purchasing this piece!
