Untitled (mini train on tracks, trees above) c. 1948

Editor: Here we have an untitled photograph by Jack Gould, showing a miniature train amidst some trees. It feels like a memory, so intimate. What draws your eye when you look at this? Curator: It whispers of childhood dreams, doesn't it? That miniature train, puffing along, carries a world of imagination. It's like a stage set for a story only the trees know. What kind of story do you think it is? Editor: Perhaps a yearning for simpler times, or maybe just the joy of creation? I’m seeing it differently now. Curator: Exactly. Art’s like that train, always taking us somewhere new.
