My wife and I attended a lecture, last night, At the Niwot Historical Society in Niwot, Colorado. Richard Fogg, (Howard's son), and his wife Janet gave an extremely interesting talk about the writing of their book "Fogg in the Cockpit" which is about Howard's World War 2 service as a fighter pilot in England. I already had a signed copy but it was great to listen to and meet them. They had copies of the book and two small Fogg Colorado prints for sale. When I talked to Richard I mentioned that I had "The Great Race" print of the Boradway and 20th Century Limiteds as the raced out of Chicago. He told me that as his father researched the painting he didn't know how to deal with the ugly industrial buildings in that part of Chicago. His solution was to have the trains traveling through a blizzard which not only hid the buildings but added a lot of drama to the scene. It is still my favorite Fogg painting.
