| | Thomas Hart Benton . Benton Profile PBS |
| | Benton was at war with the Eastern art establishment from the moment he hit his stride as a determinedly realistic painter. | | | According to Adams, the painter had alienated both the left-leaning community of artists with his disregard for politics and the larger New York-Paris art world with what was considered his folksy style. | | | Benton then went on to Paris and, finally, to New York, where he persevered as an impoverished painter for more than a decade but found his "regionalist" roots. |

| | Thomas Hart Benton - Biography |
| | Benton’s exposure to art during grade school visits to the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Library of Congress encouraged him to enroll in formal art classes at Western High School in Georgetown and then, in 1907, to study at the Art Institute of Chicago. | | | Benton’s working method involved laying out his designs from pencil sketches created on his travels, and applying pen and ink over some of the details to define and preserve them. | | | Benton’s artistic preciousness was apparent by age five, when he began to draw Indians and railroad trains, subjects that he frequently included in his later works. |

| | Although Benton is most famous as a regionalist painter and muralist, his complex and fascinating career brought him into contact with many of the most important artists and thinkers of the century, including Jackson Pollock, Grant Wood, Julian Huxley, Felix Frankfurter, Eugene Debbs, John Reed, and Harry Truman. | | | Throughout his account, from descriptions of his boyhood in southwest Missouri, his travels, and his career to discussions of specific works of art and other artists, Benton portrays people and events as vividly in words as he does in his paintings. | | | However, when his evolving principles of art led him away from an interest in Marxism, he was bitterly attacked by many of his former friends, and his account of that time reveals strikingly the fierce critical battles he faced in trying to establish his own artistic vision. |

| | Although he was the great-nephew of Senator Thomas Hart Benton and the son of a congressman, Tom Benton knew early in life that his future lay not in politics, but in art. | | | The mural is symbolic of Benton's commitment to creating "common art for the common man." Tom Benton was born in Neosho, Missouri in 1889. | | | and while Thomas Hart Benton is generally recognized as a great american artist, his "art for the masses", did not always appeal to the masses. |

| | Wild Grape, Driftwood, and Elderberry is a noteworthy example of Benton’s aesthetic approach of the 1940s, revealing his ability to integrate his new concern for texture, color, intimate viewpoints and a sharp-focus style with the mannerist treatment of form that remained one of the hallmarks of his art. | | | Throughout his career, Benton remained committed to Realism, which in his view was the most accessible aesthetic for the common man. Wild Grape, Driftwood, and Elderberry demonstrates his signature stylisms, namely his penchant for undulating contours and his use of simplified and distorted forms to create movement. | | | In 1935, Thomas Hart Benton left New York and returned to his native Missouri, where he had been hired as director of painting and drawing at the Kansas City Art Institute. |

| | What captured Benton's interest, he later wrote, was the Synchromists' use of Baroque rhythms, derived not from Cezanne's work, as was the case with most of the Parisian painters who had experimented with such rhythms, but from the more basic source of Michelangelo's sculpture. | | | Born in Neosho, Missouri, to a political family - his father was a U.S. congressman and his grand-uncle a senator - he studied painting at the Chicago Art Institute and in 1908 left for Paris, where he spent three years. | | | This incessant surge and flow would have large effects on his pupil, Jackson Pollock, but in Benton's own paintings it mainly produced rhetoric. |

| | The Challenge of Thomas Hart Benton; essay by Don Gray |
| | Benton's search for artistic and human meaning within his own country was swept aside, at least in the public eye, media and art world, though not in his own mind, by the wave of internationalism created by World War II. | | | Benton, with fellow mid-westerners Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry, was the founder of Regionalism, that art movement -- named by others -- in the 1930's which sought to discover and express the quintessential meaning of America primarily through its rural folk culture. | | | Following the peace, European-inspired art was strongly in control of New York City, which became the art capitol due to the destruction of Europe and the flight to America of many artists, critics, historians and collectors, and their subsequent influence on American art through art education and art commerce. |
