A proposal released by the board on Friday no longer calls for painting over the 13 frescoes at George Washington High School called “The Life of Washington” by the artist Victor Arnautoff. Instead, the proposed resolution calls for the artwork to be covered with panels or other “material, means or methods.” The measure, which the board will consider on Tuesday, also says the murals would be digitized for art historians to access. The resolution appears to be a compromise: the murals would survive, but would not be visible at the school.
