Roadside Impressions
A new exhibition explores two historic highways
CARTERSVILLE * Texas artist Chuck Middlekauff gathers inspiration from the Old West. He once told Southwest Art, "I want people to see the old things anew, in a fresh and different way." In a new exhibition opening this month at the Booth Western Art Museum, Middlekauff explores Route 66 and Highway 41 in a series of paintings. For the exhibition, he drove through the Tennessee and Georgia sections of Highway 41, and cruised Route 66 from Amarillo, TX, to Los Angeles, CA, in search of vintage billboards and restaurant signs. "Though the old signs on both roads have much in common - Route 66 is beautiful in its wide open spaces, and Highway 41 is beautiful in its lushness and greenery - they are definitely two different roads," he says. Route 66 Meets Highway 41: Roadside Impressions by Chuck Middlekauff opens August 18 and continues through November 8. For more information: 770.387.1300 or www.boothmuseum.org.
