Chuck Middlekauff was first exposed to the Western culture of cowboys, truckers, and diners during cross-country car trips with his family. Today he relishes the challenge of painting windmills, roadside attractions and billboards that show textures induced by weathering and years of hard use. Route 66 has provided consistent subject matter for Middlekauff for years; however, an invitation from the Booth Museum to explore Highway 41 was an opportunity he readily accepted. This exhibition showcased works inspired by each of these legendary roads.
