Brice beginning to lay out murals in an abandoned building (while on trip with Shirley Brice and Warshaws), Ensenada, Mexico, 1947. They relate to Brice's 1947 painting, Untitled, 1949 (WB49-0004), that was used in the film A Star is Born. Further, Brice's sabbatical to study European frescoes in 1958 was in part inspired by these murals.
