Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Thomas Hart Benton A Good many years have passed since I first read Benton's "Thirty Years' View" and was much struck in particular with the immense boldness of the course which he pursued in many instances in his long career. Never afterwards ceasing to feel an interest in his character, I decided later to write a biography of him and began to collect material for the purpose. As some forty years had, however, passed since his death, it was a difficult task to find survivors having personal knowledge of him, though on the whole I have in this search met with more success than I anticipated. He was not, I think, much given to epistolary correspondence, and I have not secured any large mass of his letters; but some scattering ones here and there have served to throw more or less light on his public and private life. He was, however, a man of very strong convictions, and so addicted to "speaking out in meeting" in a pungent way as to be highly interesting to many of his contemporaries, and there are numerous stories of him in print, telling of his opinions and doings. These I have, of course, used largely. To these sources must be added the long record of his speeches and actions in the Senate, which I have gone over with great care. It has long been well known that Benton was one of the first of our public men of his day, but I think that a consecutive account of his long career will show that, despite his human frailties, he was possibly even entitled to higher rank as a statesman than any one of his three greatest contemporaries in the Senate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Hart Benton, And, Gouverneur Morris The statesmanship of Theodore Roosevelt consisted in the interpretation of a great period in American his tory. The policies he championed were but the expres sions of public will which itself owed from profound and elemental economic and social changes. Theodore Roosevelt led an historic movement. Long before he became President he saw that America had reached the point where a transition from an outworn to a modern economic and social order was indispensable. To effect this transition was the great work of his life, and it is the accomplishment of that fundamental advance that makes his career epochal.

This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Opposition to Thomas Hart Benton The purpose of this study is to find the real beginnings of the opposition to Benton which 'culminated in his over throw; also to find the beginnings of the factions in the Democratic party in the State and the issues upon which the division was made. The Missouri sources show that Benton did have trouble in being reelected in 1844 and that there was a serious effort to overthrow him; that the domi nant party began to break into factions long before 1844 and that the break came upon the currency question which was later allied to certain constitutional problems; and finally that the Texas issue was seized upon by the already well organized opposition to Benton, and effectively used against him. This study attempts to present these developments as they arose; first the split upon the currency issue, then the constitutional problems which were injected into the contest, the alignment of factions in 1842 followed by the open assault upon Benton, the contest for the control of party machinery, and finally the campaign of 1844 which resulted in the elec tion of Benton.

Download or read book Thomas Hart Benton and the American South written by J. Richard Gruber and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lushly illustrated volume for the first time focuses specifically on the strong influence the South had on Benton's explorations of America and on his career as an artist. Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975), a widely recognized American painter, muralist, printmaker, and illustrator, first attained prominence during the 1920s and 1930s as an artist, teacher, critic, writer, and outspoken art world personality. By 1934, when he was the first artist featured on the cover of Time magazine, he had become one of the most recognized artists in the United States. Beginning in the 1920s and continuing throughout his career, Benton traveled the breadth of the country, sketching and recording the details of the changing daily life he encountered on the backroads and in the isolated cultural pockets of America. Inspired by his early campaign travels in Missouri with his father, who had been elected to Congress as a Populist in 1897, and driven by his own conviction that the nation was sacrificing its unique culture and history in its rush to become a new, modern society, Benton set out to capture the essence of contemporary America. The American South held a special fascination for Benton, and from his travels and sketching trips throughout the region came many of his most noted images of America. Representing both the drawings Benton made during his travels to the South and the major paintings and murals that later incorporated details from these sketches and finished drawings, Thomas Hart Benton and the American South is a feast to the eye and reveals much about the artist and the South that so captivated him.

Download or read book American Epics written by Austen Barron Bailly and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This generously illustrated book explores the connections between Thomas Hart Benton’s art and Hollywood movies from groundbreaking perspectives. Thomas Hart Benton was a thoroughly American artist. His regionally focused paintings and murals depicted everyday American life as well as the country’s history. This volume focuses on one of the most American of Benton’s associations: Hollywood. Not only did Benton create commissioned murals and portraits of film stars and movies, but he also developed a style that was highly theatrical and narrative. This volume is the first to collect all the works conceived by Benton for the film industry. It includes related ephemera, photographs, and documents of Benton at work, along with a series of thought-provoking essays that explore a diverse array of topics—from Benton’s engagement with American identity from the 1920s to the 1960s, to parallels between Benton’s use of Old Master methods and film production techniques. Fans of Thomas Hart Benton will find surprising insights into his career, while those fascinated by Hollywood history will discover how one of America’s most revered artists shaped and was in turn influenced by the film industry.
