This was from some artwork on a subway car, commissioned through the MTA's "Arts For Transit" program. Now I'm all for art..and art in the subway. Especially seeing art when I crammed up against some guy who smells and talks to himself.
But does the artwork have to feature mass transit motifs. Isn't there something a little unpleasant about this urban scene, a place where 40 tons of elevated track carry subway cars rattling every brick in the neighborhood?
