"One salutary aspect of the show, indeed, is that it bridges the demarcation year of 1945, conventionally used to begin “postwar” histories. While this chronological boundary has an obvious logic, it tends to obscure continuities between the war years and their aftermath—the creative work that was being done even as the conflict raged, and its ongoing effects after peace had been declared. It’s a lot to fit into an exhibition, but the PMA is well positioned to pull it off." Boom: Art and Design in the 1940s is on view through September 1.
