More Information
'Field Trip' served as a study for a mural commission for Akron Children's Hospital. The composition includes identifiable figures, including the artist himself as the bus driver. A photograph of Horns' girlfriend at the time, Rosemary Marino, was used to create the figure in purple. The mural relating to this study remains in the collection of the hospital.
