From 1950 to 1990, Coloramas greeted millions who passed through New York City's Grand Central Terminal, presenting an idealized image of postwar America. Created by the Eastman Kodak Company, the colossal 18 x 20-foot backlit color transparencies represented a technological leap in the world of marketing and projected an image of an abundant, prosperous and scientifically advanced America, an image that contrasted sharply with the reality of a society divided along racial and socioeconomic lines. Organized by the George Eastman Museum.
