  • y Land Or By SeaAt The Shelburne Museum
    September 1, 2009

    Alterations wrought on the early American landscape by the transportation revolution, which some historians date as having begun in New England around 1790, were profound and far-reaching. Roads and railways were built; canals were dug, and larger and faster steamers plied the waters of the young republic. The widespread ramifications were political, social, economic and artistic. While classically trained artists celebrated the grandeur of the American landscape, folk artists were inspired to create and embellish objects celebrating the burgeoning means of transportation. Captivated by their forms and functions, these generally anonymous but creative souls expressed themselves exuberantly, combining whimsy and meticulous calculation. A selection of such objects is on view in ⁂y Land or By Sea: American Folk Art and the Golden Age of Transportation†at the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vt., through October 25.
