Henrietta Shore Sites

Henrietta Shore painted a mural, "Monterey Bay," for the Monterey Post Office in 1937, with support from the Treasury Section of Fine Arts.  Unfortunately, Shore's mural has disappeared and its whereabouts are unknown to us.

Four oil on canvas murals depicting Santa Cruz's industry: "Cabbage Farming," "Limestone Quarries," "Artichoke," and "Fishing." "The vivid paintings show limestone quarry workers, men picking artichokes and fishermen at the waters edge. One painting, titled Cabbage Culture, shows three farm workers, one of them bent over as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders."
