Art in the Age of Steam: Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, 18 April-10 August 2008

摘要

Art in the Age of Steam at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool offered an appealing selection of artistic responses to the subject of railways. The title, amended for the purposes of the catalog to The Railway: Art in the Age of Steam, hinted at the exhibition's content-the subject of steam travel since its inception in 1804 as perceived by a chronology of art historical movements. The exhibition brought together a variety of works, some included for the skill and fame of their creators and some elevated to gallery status because their subjects matched the exhibition's theme.
