About the work
José Maria Sert is known primarily for the murals that he painted in buildings, including the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. He regularly took photographs as preparatory studies, or aides-memoires. While Sert’s photographs were only a means to an end, now they are also appreciated for their beauty. He used a grid method to transfer the images to his much larger murals.
