"Lunch with the Minotaur: The Greeks had a word for a mean old monster who sometimes dressed like a bull, still other times sported the body of a man and head of a bull. They called it a Minotaur.

This ancient legend inspired Daniel Rassmusson, New York artist, to paint key scenes for 178 feet along the sparkling new 'tea room' at Halle's. Only new it's called th Minotaur Room and it's on the ninth floor. It opens Monday.

Recommended by Kay Halle for the job, Rassmusson painted the legent in soft grays and whites on five walls up to 14 feet high. He supposedly jumped into his painting without any advance sketches, a fantastic feat if true." -- photo verso
