The Railroad Art of Ted Rose - A Retrospective - The beauty and nobility of railroads are vividly illustrated in this exhibit of the impressive watercolor paintings and remarkable photographs of the late artist Ted Rose. Railroads were a favorite subject for Rose and he depicted them, their people and varied settings through expressive colors and unique and compelling compositions. Ted Rose is probably best known on a national level for the five wonderful paintings he created in 1999 for the U. S. Postal Service's All Aboard stamp series. Included in the regular Museum admission.
