This lushly illustrated volume for the first time focuses specificallyon the strong influence the South had on Benton's explorations of Americaand on his career as an artist.Thomas Hart Benton (18891975), a widely recognized American painter,muralist, printmaker, and illustrator, first attained prominence duringthe 1920s and 1930s as an artist, teacher, critic, writer, and outspokenart world personality. By 1934, when he was the first artist featured onthe cover of Time magazine, he had become one of the most recognized artistsin the United States.Beginning in the 1920s and continuing throughout his career, Bentontraveled the breadth of the country, sketching and recording the detailsof the changing daily life he encountered on the backroads and in the isolatedcultural pockets of America. Inspired by his early campaign travels inMissouri with his father, who had been elected to Congress as a Populistin 1897, and driven by his own conviction that the nation was sacrificingits unique culture and history in its rush to become a new, modern society,Benton set out to capture the essence of contemporary America.The American South held a special fascination for Benton, and from histravels and sketching trips throughout the region came many of his mostnoted images of America. Representing both the drawings Benton made duringhis travels to the South and the major paintings and murals that laterincorporated details from these sketches and finished drawings, ThomasHart Benton and the American South is a feast to the eye and reveals muchabout the artist and the South that so captivated him.
