Description"Interstate 80" a key work of the "Machine Man" series of paintings and constructions Robert Templeton created in the early 1960s during the height of the interstate highways building boom. Over the years these works have been reproduced in art magazines and "The New York Times" as emblematic of America's fascination with and dependence on cars, trucks, and highways, as cars, trucks, and highways have become an essential part of American culture.On View
