Title

Science and Jazz Left Panel Detail

Creator

Wilbert Goffney

Description

This portion of the mural includes two panels that show scientific equipment (beakers, vials, syringes, and more) in use. On the left side, a beaker has been broken, and wispy fluids are escaping. On the right, the equipment is accompanied by a cocktail glass, a cigarette, and a die, perhaps suggesting a connection to drug use and nightlife. The background of the right side includes ghostly, ethereal figures painted in blue hues.
