Back to Artists Back to Regionalism About Thomas Benton This preparatory painting for an oil and tempera on canvas (John W. Callison Coll., Kansas City; 42¼ x 56¼ in.) was executed in 1934, when Benton was rising like a beacon in theAmerican art world. His self-portrait appeared on the cover of Time magazine at the end of that year (Christmas issue). At that time, Benton became known as a Regionalist, along with John Steuart Curry and Grant Wood, and the media established them as the triumvirate of Regionalists. Benton had already completed the Whitney mural, "The Arts of Life in America" and another mural for the State of Indiana’s exhibit at the Chicago World’s Fair (1933). Benton himself described the scene, which he witnessed:

Benton's figure drawing was accessible, often cartoon-like; his compositions were energetic and active; and his colors were rich. He painted mural scenes of American life in the early 1930's, including a well-known work for the New School for Social Research in New York City. He taught at the Art Students League of New York, where his students included Jackson Pollack , who would later become an important abstract expressionist. In 1934, when a Benton portrait was featured on the cover of "Time" magazine, both Benton and his Regionalism started catching the attention of a much larger public. In 1935, he became the director of the City Art Institute and School of Design in Kansas City, Missouri, where he lived for the rest of his life. Throughout his career, Benton continued to reject the orthodoxies of modernism, which he saw as elitist, neurotic, and obscurantist. He hoped to produce a particularly American visual art, steeped in North American folk traditions and free of what he saw as the decadence of European high culture. One of his innovations was the representation of Mythological and Biblical narratives in American types. He worked in both mural and easel forms and wrote many articles on art, as well as two autobiographies.
