The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has a terrific
new installation of a Thomas Hart Benton mural, painted in 1930, called “America
Today.” If you’re a Benton fan
(and I am), it’s terrific stuff.
Among the images of a nation in transition is this great “snapshot” of
passengers on the subway in New York.
(We took the subway to the Met….and encountered an apparently mentally
ill person in our car. Wonder what
they did with those folks in 1930?)
