The Benton Farm (1973)
Thomas Hart Benton
American, 1889–1975
Oil on canvas

"Painted two years before Thomas Hart Benton’s death, The Benton Farm highlights the artist’s signature use of layered curves and bold contours. Benton had been working in this style for many years, creating a consistent vision of American life despite the advent of significant new art movements. Benton’s unwavering style and accessible subject matter continued to find eager audiences, including a local businessman who purchased The Benton Farm for his Plaza office. The painting resonated with his own work to create a business and his upbringing on a dairy farm."
