An important and historic preliminary sketch painting for the 55 foot tall polished marble mosaics at the Science Hall Building at CCSF. Titled "The Interaction of Science" commissioned by Timothy Pflueger, architect for CCSF, circa 1939-1940. Various scratches and wear to canvas. Herman Roderick Volz. A painter, muralist, lithographer, set designer and ceramist. Formal training at the Art und Gewerbescule in Zurich and the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.
