Thomas Hart Benton
American painter Thomas Hart Benton turned away from his modernist training and developed a rough, naturalist style, which he used to capture the strength and vitality of life in the American South and Midwest. Benton completed a number of well-known murals, including a series at the state capitol in Jefferson, Missouri (1935) and at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri (1962).
