All Aboard: The Railroad in American Art, 1840 - 1955

Now on view at The Dixon, this exhibition examines the often-symbiotic relationship between American painters and the passenger and freight trains that populated cities, towns, and countrysides across the nation. As seen through the eyes of some of our country’s most consequential artists, All Aboard traces the evolution of trains from the “devillish iron horse” to an industrial powerhouse and, ultimately, a pageant of metaphor and nostalgia.
