Description

"In the Traces presents sixty-one paintings by Ted Rose, with commentary by the artist. The works are an eloquent and absorbing view of industrial America, especially of railroads as an integral part of the manmade landscape." "Here is the rich narrative of a journey of discovery that began fifty years ago when Rose confronted changes everywhere during the time when railroads and the country were in transition. His paintings are a record of his continuing fascination with railroad places, a visual anthology of past and present. These watercolors well describe the atmosphere and life along the tracks during the last half of the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.
