Thomas Hart Benton: An American Original [Exhibition Catalog]

Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975), noted muralist, regionalist painter, art theorist, instructor of Jackson Pollock, and controversial figure in the world of art and politics. Though pigeonholed as a regionalist chronicler of the Midwest, many of his finest on-site pictures are of Southern blacks and poor whites. Remembered best are his folksy rural scenes and aggressively three-dimensional murals, but the public tends to forget that he ran through the gamut of modernist styles and that his brilliant abstract color experiments ally him with the modernist movement. Curated by Henry Adams; organized by Ellen R. Goheen; Checklist by Goheen. During 1989-90, exhibition travelled to Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City; Detroit Institute of Arts; Whitney Museum of American Art & Los Angeles County Museum of Art. stapled pictorial wrappers. 24 pp, 97 illustrations (9 in color, including cover). Note that this is an exhibition catalog, not the monograph subsequently published with a similar title.
