Explore the past, present, and future of rail travel through 30
years of one artist's work. Once a common part of the American
landscape, trains are increasingly fading from public view. Though
photographs can accurately convey the details of "what, where, and
when," sometimes paintings can better convey the deeper truths of
an era. Collecting more than thirty years of paintings and
renderings, Railroads, Art, and American Life tells the story of
rail transportation in America through the life and works of artist
J. Craig Thorpe. Commissioned by companies such as Amtrak and
General Electric, Thorpe's work can be found featured on items
ranging from catalogs to calendars, postcards to posters. His
artwork depicts not only the golden age of train travel but
considers the present and looks forward to a potential future.
Featuring more than 130 color illustrations and combining history,
biography, ethics, and humor, Thorpe's personal story joins with
his paintings to invite the reader to relive the heyday of American
rail and better understand the role of railroads in our society
today.
