SAN FRANCISCO PWAP The largest of the projects sponsored by the PWAP is the Coit Tower murals in San Francisco’s Coit Tower . This project was also largely controversial because of the strong influence of Diego Rivera in the city, and the interest of the PWAP to keep publicly sponsored art projects non-revolutionary. Among the artists selected to work on the mural were Victor Arnautoff , Bernard Zakheim , John Langley Howard , Ray Boynton , Ralph Stackpole , Jose Moya Del Pino , Otis Oldfield , Jane Berlandina , and William Hesthal . During the painting of the murals, the Big Strike of 1934 shut down the Pacific Coast. As a result, allusions to the event are were subversively included in the murals by some of the artists.
