They've just opened a great exhibition on 'Art in the Age of Steam'. The interesting thing is that artists never seemed to get to grips with the trains themselves, it was always the passengers they wanted to paint. If you find yourself in Liverpool it's worth a visit: www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/walker/exhibitions/steam/ There's some Manet/Monet/Hopper show stoppers in there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-69362682784763081542008-05-05T15:02:00.000-04:002008-05-05T15:02:00.000-04:00After having read this post I started reading up o...After having read this post I started reading up on Bruce Davidson's Subway series- which I knew nothing about. Those have quickly become some of my all time favorite photographs. Remarkable pictures. I found a copy of the book but it was over 200 bucks. I wish someone would reprint that book.

The reason for this, I discovered, is that people in these countries work pretty hard (lots getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning and not getting to bed until midnight). Working really long hours, getting a cat nap whenever / wherever they can.Ed Mahonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287241685448211562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-4145078762167765132008-05-04T16:03:00.000-04:002008-05-04T16:03:00.000-04:00great post.

But seeing the realness of these photos makes me think it might be a necessary evil to document something bigger.
