This exhibition explores the central role of the automobile in defining American identity over the past century. American scene paintings and photographs depict the early days of American car culture; the journey continues with responses by Pop artists such as Andy Warhol, which draw on the car as a symbol of freedom, individualism and middle class identity, and more recent – sometimes critical – work by figures such as Edward Burtynsky and Kerry James Marshall. Find out more from the Toledo Museum’s website.
