This mural depicts pumpjacks (also known as grasshoppers)
which are a common feature of the landscape in the
Permian Basin of central Texas. "Pumpjacks"
was a joint project of the Arts Assembly of Midland
and The Chase Manhattan Foundation. Designed by Peter
Himmelberg, it was painted by employees of the local
Chase Manhattan Bank.
