[RCA Building Murals (by Sert and Brangwyn), RCA Building, view of the entire lobby from the mezzanine]
Creators
Frank Brangwyn (British muralist, 1867-1956); José Mariá Sert y Badiá (Spanish muralist, ca. 1874-1945)
Description
Sert was a Catalan Spanish muralist, the son of an affluent textile industry family and friend of Salvador Dalí. He was particularly known for his grisaille style, often in gold and black. His “American Progress” mural (1937) in the main lobby replaced Diego Rivera’s controversial homage to Lenin. Sert's mural depicts the country’s growth and shows statues of creative muses hauled by laboring strongmen. Lincoln, Emerson, and Gandhi lend a hand. "Time" was painted on the ceiling (5,000 sq ft; 1941). "Spirit of the Dance" was painted in the north hall (25 x 17 ft; 1941). Other murals line the stairwells and corridors. Titles include "Man's Triumph In Communication" (1933); "Abolition of War" (1933); "Abolition of Bondage" (1933); "Conquest of Disease" (1933). Four murals by Frank Brangwyn were commissioned for the south hall, 1930-1934. Brangwyn's theme was man's search for the eternal truth through Christ's teachings. The murals, which had darkened under varnish, were restored in 2009-2011 and the lobby repainted to match the original ivory colors.

Description
Aigues-Mortes is a town in Gard, southern France, in the north-western section of the Rhône Delta or Camargue. It is one of the largest surviving medieval fortified towns. Louis IX (reigned 1226-1270) conceived of the walled city. He wanted a port to establish a royal presence in, and access to, the Mediterranean, and he needed a fortified town to protect crusaders, pilgrims and merchants, providing a safe haven from which to launch crusades, as well as a commercial centre for trade between the Levant and northern France. Soon after 1240 Louis IX began the construction of the Tour de Constance, the isolated tower on the north-western corner of the site; it was finished in 1249, the year after he launched the Seventh Crusade. Construction of the walled town did not, however, begin until 1272 during the reign of Louis's son Philip III (reigned 1270-1285), and work continued into the early years of the 14th century. Notre-Dame-des-Sablons, erected in the mid-13th century, is a handsome if simple unvaulted structure of nave and two aisles with a flat east end. It was restored between 1964 and 1967.

Aigues-Mortes is a town in Gard, southern France, in the north-western section of the Rhône Delta or Camargue. It is one of the largest surviving medieval fortified towns. Louis IX (reigned 1226-1270) conceived of the walled city. He wanted a port to establish a royal presence in, and access to, the Mediterranean, and he needed a fortified town to protect crusaders, pilgrims and merchants, providing a safe haven from which to launch crusades, as well as a commercial centre for trade between the Levant and northern France. Soon after 1240 Louis IX began the construction of the Tour de Constance, the isolated tower on the north-western corner of the site; it was finished in 1249, the year after he launched the Seventh Crusade. Construction of the walled town did not, however, begin until 1272 during the reign of Louis's son Philip III (reigned 1270-1285), and work continued into the early years of the 14th century. Notre-Dame-des-Sablons, erected in the mid-13th century, is a handsome if simple unvaulted structure of nave and two aisles with a flat east end. It was restored between 1964 and 1967.
