Softcover. Color pictorial stapled wraps. 48 pp. Over 50 illustrations, mainly color and a handful of BW. A Winter 2015 edition of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, Volume 72 No. 3. Published with the exhibition Thomas Hart Benton's America Today Moral Rediscovered, held from September 30, 2014-April 19, 2015. "Thomas Hart Benton is often recognized as the leader of the 1930s movement known as Regionalism, which celebrated rural life in the United States. However, he lived and worked primarily in New York from 1912 to 1935, one of the most vibrant and dynamic periods in the city's history. It was also a critical time for Benton's artistic development, as he gradually established and set on the course that would define his career, one characterized by a passionate commitment to public art, populist subject matter, and a distinctively expressive figurative style rooted predominantly in European Mannerism. The pinnacle of Benton's New York years was the mural cycle he painted for the newly erected headquarters of the New School for Social Research at 66 West 12th Street, which opened to the public in January 1931. Called America Today, the mural - his first significant commission for an institution - raised Benton's artistic stature not only in New York, but also nationwide, setting the stage for his appearance in December 1934 on the cover of Time magazine, the first time an artist was accorded that honor."
