Travel 'American Roads'
By Stew Magnuson
Staff Reporter
"The Road" has long held a
romantic spot in the American
psyche. Maybe in each of us there's
a secret desire to leave our safe
homes and all our troubles behind
for a carefree life of traveling from
one spot to another. Tales of life on
the road are in our literature, TV
and films. Jack Kerouac's "On the
Road" spawned a hundred more
literary vagabonds. Buzz and Todd
traveled the American landscape in
their tiny red sportscar on the popu
lar TV show "Route 66," eternally
driving from one adventure to
another.
"American Roads," a photo exhibit
at Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery,
deals with these romantic images of
the thousands of miles of lost Amer
ican highways. But leaving your safe
American home isn't necessary to
recognize these captured images.
The scenes of gas stations and seedy
motels can be found on any family
vacation to Disney World or a Sun

day drive on any deserted highway.
Here are Interstates and high
ways, Greyhounds and four-door
sedans, construction sites and end
less rows of corn. Images of high
ways that seem to stretch into infin
ity on a dusty desert.
The photos are nearly all images
of the American West. A person b om
the East might think his homeland
was being discriminated against.
But our West is almost too photo
genic to ignore. Ever since the
legendary cowboy rode across the
prairie, Americans have been fasci
nated by the western United States.
Gas stations on lonely stretches of
highways are a popular subject.
Robert Adam's black-and-white shot
of a station at Pike's Peak is the
best of this common scene.
The oddest picture is the "Ex
hausted Renegade Elephant" by Joel
Sternfield, Here we see an elephant
lying on a highway, surrounded by
woods and a crowd of curious
onlookers. The onlookers and the
patrolman all know the inside story.
We don't, But you can speculate and

imagine for yourself how an ele
phant ended up collapsed on a road
in upstate Washington.
See a statue of a ferocious-looking
Tyrannosaurus Rex in Steve Fitche's
"Dinosaur, Highway 40, Vernal,
Utah." The dinosaur stands outside
the Millecam's motel, beckoning
tourists to spend a night.
Another beautiful color photo, is
Robert A. Widdicombe's picture of
the famous Cadillac ranch in Ama
rillo, Texas. The photogenic rows of
half-submerged Cadillacs is a strange
and wonderful tribute to the Ameri
can car.
The 20 photographs wil' be dis
played until Jan. 16, 1987. Go see
this exhibit if you have a few min
utes to spare between classes. It's
better than crashing on a union
couch and watching some silly soap
opera.
