| Title | Quetzalcoatl-Plumed serpent, City Terrace, 1972 |
| Description | Quetzalcoatl-Plumed serpent, City Terrace, 1972. "Undoubtedly one of the most powerful wall paintings in East Los Angeles is Willie Herron's 'Feathered Serpent.' He combined existing graffiti with a design that looks at once Mexican and Oriental. Done in 1972, it faces the alley off Miller Avenue just north of City Terrace Drive." -- Environmental Communications, Street paintings of Los Angeles, unpaged, #51; http://www.lamurals.org/MuralFiles/ELA/Quetzalcoatl.html; Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p. 286, #8. |
