Edgar Miller, American Artist, created these murals in
his own medium by covering each canvas with 7 coats of ver-
milion red and leafing it with layers of gold, silver, alumi-
num and bronze. The drawings, which were entirely spon-
taneous and not formulated from sketches or notes, he did
in black with some cutting through the layers of leaf to the
red and sandpapering leafed surfaces to obtain the tonal
effects. All of these murals make a fascinating background
for the distinctive PIERRE GRILL known for the ultimate
in fine foods.
