Re: Monday Train Blogging: Trains In The Arts
(
4.00 / 5
)
Here's another entry from the Railroad Capital of the World.
Claude Monet
, "Arrival of the Normandy Train," 1877, at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Rene Magritte's "
Time Transfixed
" is in another gallery.
Readers might also want to look at Edward Hopper's "
Night Hawks
, which is one of the few paintings I know of to be turned into a model railroad scene. (The late John Armstrong modelled it in his O Scale Canandaigua Southern.)
I've been tempted to do a setting of the most famous North American painting, "American Gothic," for the Iowa-based Fox Valley O Scalers layout.
Stephen Karlson ATTITUDE is a nine letter word. BOATSPEED.
