Plot
Thomas Hart Benton's paintings were energetic and uncompromising. Today his works are in museums, but Benton hung them in saloons for ordinary people to appreciate.
Sinekatalog’s take
A portrait of the painter whose energetic, uncompromising murals and canvases belonged as much in saloons as in museums. Burns treats the subject with respect and clarity, an accessible introduction to American regionalist art.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
