The image displays a large mosaic artwork titled 'The Spirit of Communications' (also known as 'Genius of Man') by Barry Faulkner, situated above the entrance to the Associated Press Building at 50 Rockefeller Plaza in Rockefeller Center, New York City, United States of America. The mosaic features a deep blue, star-speckled background representing a sky, crossed by stylized white, grey, and gold clouds. Multiple human-like figures are depicted in flight. A central winged figure, with brown and green wings and a golden-orange robe, extends its left arm forward. To its left, an unwinged figure, garbed in orange and yellow, holds aloft a radiating, star-like object in its right hand. Smaller, less distinct figures, some trailing colorful streamers, are distributed throughout the mosaic, some partially integrated into cloud formations. Golden tesserae spell out partial words within the blue background, including 'PHILOSOPH,' 'HYGIEN,' 'PHYSI,' 'BIOLOGY,' and 'PUBLICITY.' Above the mosaic is a wide panel of brushed golden metal, serving as a ceiling or architectural trim. Below the artwork, a golden frame separates it from a lower architectural section composed of speckled grey granite walls and golden-colored panels, including a door or service panel on the left and an entrance structure on the right.
