Description:
At the dawn of the twentieth century Henry Adams proclaimed that the machine was as central to our modern American culture as the Virgin was to medieval culture. We worshiped in our factories as our ancestors worshiped in cathedrals. In this century we also raised up bridges, grain elevators, and skyscrapers, and many were dazzled by these symbols of the Machine Age--from American presidents such as Marcel Duchamp.
