A fascinating account of how the railway influenced more than a century of art in Europe and AmericaSteam locomotives gripped the imagination when they first appeared in 19thcentury Europe and America. Aboard these great machines, passengers traveled at faster speeds than ever before while watching the scenery transform itself and take on new forms. Common notions of time and space were forever changed.Through vivid illustrations and engaging texts, The Railway: Art in the Age of Steam captures both the fear and excitement of early train travel as it probes the artistic response to steam locomotion within its social setting. Featuring paintings, photography, prints, and posters, the book includes numerous masterpieces by 19th and 20thcentury artists, including J. M. W. Turner, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Charles Sheeler, and Edward Hopper.With its wide variety of themeslandscape painting, the conquest of the West, Impressionism, issues of social class, Modernism, the aesthetics of the machine, and environmental concernsthis work promises an exhilarating journey for both train and art enthusiasts and for anyone interested in one of the industrial ages defining achievements.Published in association with The NelsonAtkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, and Walker Art Gallery, National Museums LiverpoolExhibition Schedule:Walker Art Gallery, National Museums Liverpool (April 18 August 10, 2008)The NelsonAtkins Museum of Art, Kansas City (September 13, 2008 January 18, 2009)
