Art in the Age of Steam at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

From: "Randy Attwood" rattwood@nelson-atkins.org

... The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art ... on September 13, 2008 .. will open an exhibition that I think would be of interest ... "Art in the Age of Steam" will show how railroads affected the work of artists and helped shape the modern world. More than 100 paintings, prints and photographs from 64 museums and private collections will be on view and we think the exhibition will be of interest not only to art lovers, but railroad fans as well. ... In conjunction with the exhibition, a 288-page book has been produced titled: The Railway: Art in the Age of Steam ...
