A watercolor painting on paper depicting a railroad scene by Thomas Hart Benton, American, 1889 to 1975. Signed lower left. Framed. Thomas Hart Benton was an American painter, muralist, and printmaker. Along with Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry, he was at the forefront of the Regionalist art movement. The fluid, sculpted figures in his paintings showed everyday people in scenes of life in the United States. His work is strongly associated with the Midwestern United States, the region in which he was born and which he called home for most of his life. He also studied in Paris, lived in New York City for more than 20 years painted scores of works there, summered for 50 years on Marthas Vineyard off the New England coast, and also painted scenes of the American South and West. One of a kind artwork.
