For Thomson, who paints for escapism, the question wasn’t whether the subway would yield enough subject matter for an entire show, but whether he could confine himself to just one. This show—Subway Series—was ultimately capped at twenty-two original paintings.

Keith Thomson studied drawing at Columbia University and the Sorbonne and then worked as a political cartoonist for The New Haven Register before becoming a writer and painter. His novels include the New York Times Best-Selling Once a Spy and 7 Grams of Lead. His nonfiction chronicle of Sir Walter Raleigh’s search for El Dorado, Paradise of the Damned, was published last year by Little, Brown. He and his family live in Alabama.
