This was a fantastic overview - a readable 'coffee table' book. It is large, too heavy to hold comfortably. If limited to one volume to review Benton, or Regionalism as a whole, this would be my easy choice.

Benton's casual racism and sexism make this almost unreadable to a modern reader - I wonder if the still-in-print edition is toned down?

That said, this is an epic travelogue through Depression Era USA, captured by an astute observer. The sketches throughout are of course excellent.

Purchased a 1939 edition from a used book store in Lawrence long ago, finally read following a long overdue visit to the Benton House, a Missouri State Park, on my last trip to KC

A sumptuously gorgeous study of one of my favorite artists, Thomas Hart Benton. He was a complex, headstrong and frequently self-involved man and controversial as an artist, but he lived long enough to see his art become praised by the critics, fade into obscurity, and enjoy a rebirth of critical and popular acclaim as an old man. He was the center of the artist colony on Martha's Vineyard, and developed relationships with several other artists of the day, including Jackson Pollock and John Steuart Curry. I was particularly pleased to find this book for $3 at an estate sale, months after declining to buy it for $50 at the rare book section of the St. Louis Book Fair.… (plus d'informations)
