Richard Haas is well known for giving flat surfaces a three-dimensional appearance. This 36 × 56 foot mural was painted in the trompe l’oeil method, which translates from French to “fool-the-eye.”

Highlights

The artist integrated real windows and doors of the theater into the mural, which presents a stage where Pittsburgh’s steel legacy is depicted.
The performance is a steel mill interior, where furnaces are pouring hot metal.
