| Title | Ghost Town, Thousand Oaks, 1972 |
| Description | Ghost Town, Thousand Oaks, 1972. "The Squa's last mural, 'Ghost Town', was a futuristic landscape of the San Fernando Valley community of Thousand Oaks where the painting was completed in 1972." -- http://www.lamurals.org/MuralistPages/LAFineArts.html. "The remaining members of the Fine Arts Squad (Terry Schoonhoven and Vic Henderson) completed a commissioned piece for local millionaire and 'Friend of Artists', Edwin Janss, Jr. in his shopping center in Thousand Oaks. The mural shows a full scale glass and marble bankfront with huge windows that reflect a scene of Thousand Oaks in the future. In keeping with the Fine Arts Squad ironic vision, Thousand Oaks lies in ruins -- the Colonel Sanders bucket is riddled with bullets, sheep meander through deserted tract homes, even Edwin Janss is seen wandering through the rubble in a coonskin cap...". -- Environmental Communications, Street paintings of Los Angeles, #55-56. |
