The restored Helen Lundeberg murals in the former City Council chamber of Fullerton’s old city hall (now the police department) will be unveiled to the public on Sunday at 2 p.m. The building, at 237 W. Commonwealth Ave., was constructed in 1939 as a Works Progress Administration project. Over the years, the murals suffered extensive damage. Lundeberg, now 84, was a major figure in the history of Southern California art who worked for the WPA’s Federal Arts Project from 1922 to 1941. Beginning as a Realist painter steeped in Surrealism, she evolved into the spare, landscape-based abstract style for which she is known today. The five-year, $80,000 restoration was financed by a combination of city funding and public donations. The room will be used for community meetings.
