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. Other murals found in downtown Midland can be seen by following this link and then scrolling down to the individual murals. We were unable to determine when this mural was painted.
