Radium Highway of Tomorrow
Artist: Arthur Radebaugh
Circa: 1940s
Arthur Radebaugh’s visions of the future were dazzling syntheses of sci-fi optimism and Art Deco flair. In this piece, the viewer sits behind the wheel of a glowing car, gliding along illuminated lanes into a streamlined cityscape brimming with towers, technology, and sleek optimism. A pioneer of mid-century futurism, Radebaugh was known for his Closer Than We Think! illustrations, which anticipated driverless cars, smart dashboards, and neon-lit urban centers. His work blurred the line between fantasy and forecast—imagination guided by industry.
