Art in the Age of Steam is Just What the WSJ was Craving
Today’s Wall Street Journal includes Richard B. Woodward’s review of “Art in the Age of Steam: Europe, America, and the Railway, 1830-1960.” The exhibition catalog, The Railway: Art in the Age of Steam, produced by Marquand and available from Yale University Press, was just what Woodward needed to complete his visit to the exhibition:
Too many curators these days fatigue museum-goers in a noble effort to be thorough. That’s not the case here. I left refreshed, wanting more. My cravings were satisfied where they should be, and at a more leisurely pace, in a group of outstanding essays for the catalog published by Yale University Press.
“Art in the Age of Steam” is on view at the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, MO, through mid-January 2009.
