Something to say about that

Saturday Night at Tom Benton's


Thomas Hart Benton.

This record album is as close as I have ever been to any of his work. At least as my poor memory serves me. I have been in many art museums. I may have forgotten.

Perhaps he is not familiar to you. He and Grant Wood were mentioned a lot in my central US schooling.

His work is easily recognizable as naturalistic and representational, a sort of technique that has become known as “Regionalism.”

Today in 1975 we lost Thomas Hart Benton.
