thomas hart benton 1889–1975, American Thomas Hart Benton was a tremendously important American painter, printmaker, muralist, and art teacher. One of the leading proponents of the Regionalist art movement, he strove to create an art that was nostalgic in nature, celebrating the people, history, folklore, melancholy and beauty of small-town life in the mid-western United States. Benton worked in an easily recognizable and understandable style, and wasn't a proponent of Modernism, although he did live and work in New York City more than 20 years. His fluid, sculpted figures represent everyday people, portrayed in genre scenes reflecting American life.
