...hard-eyed, banjo-playing, riverboat life of the Central South; the innocent art of John Kane, who put the steel mills and freight trains of Pittsburgh on canvas for the first time and who took machinery in his stride. "Look at those trains!" he said, as he painted Turtle Creek Valley with the green hills and the red brick houses in the background, beyond the smoky railroad yards. "Look at those trains, gaily defying me to paint them right...
