Thomas Hart Benton (April 15, 1889 – January 19, 1975)

Benton was an American painter, muralist, and printmaker. Along with Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry, he was at the forefront of the Regionalist art movement. The fluid, sculpted figures in his paintings showed everyday people in scenes of life in the United States.

His work is strongly associated with the Midwestern United States, the region in which he was born and which he called home for most of his life. He also studied in Paris, lived in New York City for more than 20 years and painted scores of works there, summered for 50 years on Martha's Vineyard off the New England coast, and also painted scenes of the American South and West.

In the early 1920s, Benton declared himself an "enemy of modernism"; he began the naturalistic and representational work known as Regionalism.

He toured America, making sketches and ink wash drawings of the things he saw. He would go back to these sketches again and again as reference for future paintings.
