Coal Train on the Curve, 1924
Add to SetSummary
In 1924-25 the Ford Motor Company ran a series of sixteen dramatic advertisements in the Saturday Evening Post and Country Gentleman magazines. The effectiveness of the ads was due in large part to the specially commissioned artwork that accompanied the descriptive text. The imbalance in this painting's composition is a reminder that the artwork was intended to be part of a published whole.
