Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975) was an artist whose images express his deepest feelings about American Life and History, about love family and religion. This lavishly illustrated volume brilliantly reproduces hundreds of his works, ranging from the most informal, intimate sketches to monumental mural cycles and noble nudes - works that reveal him as a major recorder and interpreter of the American scene.
