Striking painting by Langley of an instrument used to measure both the strength and direction of a magnetic field and the magnetization of a specific material. The above work features a magnetometer high above the ground, obviously on an aircraft. Magnetometers are frequently employed in this manner for mineral exploration and to assist with map geology. Howard, a San Francisco based artist known for his controversial socialist mural in Coit Tower, briefly studied engineering before pursuing art. Much of his work addresses the tension between technological development and the natural world. He also spent roughly a decade illustrating covers for the Scientific American.

Howard enrolled at the California College of Arts & Crafts (Oakland), and then continued at Art Students League in NYC under Kenneth Hayes Miller. Returning to California in 1926, he held his first exhibition at San Francisco's Modern Gallery. Shortly after his return, he and his wife bought a house in Monterey and spent many years there. Howard was active as an artist until a few years before his demise in San Francisco on Nov. 15, 1999. Originally inspired by the landscapes of C?zanne, his work evolved into Social Realism during the 1930s; however, in the early 1940s he returned to painting landscapes in a style of meticulous realism with symbolic overtones.
