Named a “child of controversy,” Thomas Benton has had the most dramatic and interesting career in American art. Painter, muralist, anthropologist and lithographer, Benton turns the pages of history into powerful pictorial drama. Born in Neosho on the edge of the Missouri Ozarks, in 1889, he began his art training at sixteen at the Art Institute of Chicago. At nineteen he decamped for the Latin Quarter in Paris, but returned to work in America. This past year he completed the murals of the History of Missouri in the State Capitol of Jefferson City. He is permanently represented with works in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New School for Social Research, and with a mural History of Indiana which is being placed by the State. Benton recently published his autobiography, “An Artist in America,” which Thomas Craven called “the march of a clear-thinking positive personality.”

Musical Interlude

A LIMITED EDITION

Signed Original Lithograph

By GEORGES SCHREIBER

When George Schreiber came to the United States from his native Belgium he was so grateful to this country for the opportunities offered him that he traveled into each of the 48 states on the monumental task of recording in 48 paintings his impression of each of the states. Schreiber probably knows America today better than most native artists. Winner of the Tuthill Prize of the International Exhibition of Water Colors at the Chicago Art Institute in 1932, Schreiber made rapid strides to reach the highest rank in water color and oil painting. He has achieved the recognition of our museums and now is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum, Syracuse Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Museum of the City of New York. Author of “Portraits and Self-Portraits”, Schreiber caught American public characters in rapid sketches. The circus has always been an inspiration to Schreiber and many of his paintings deal with this theme.

October Afternoon

A LIMITED EDITION

Signed Original Etching

By JACKSON LEE NESBITT

Jackson Lee Nesbitt is Thomas Benton’s “discovery”! This young artist was born in a little Oklahoma town where his father printed the town newspaper, left Oklahoma’s University to go off to Kansas City in order to study art with Thomas Benton and John DeMartelly there at the Art Institute. At 22 he had won the Vanderslice Scholarship which enabled him to continue. From almost the first day he decided to be an artist, his paintings were asked for in exhibitions throughout the Midwest. With the award of Third Painting Prize at the Midwestern Artists Exhibition held at the Kansas City Art Institute, public recognition of this young artist began to flow. Soon the Philbrook Museum in his native Oklahoma awarded him Purchase Prize and placed his paintings in their permanent collection. Later exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago, Denver Museum and both world’s Fairs were given him. Benton brought his work to us as one of the promising young artists to come out of the great belt of the Middle West, and with Benton we predict leadership in American art for young Nesbitt.

Though born in Philadelphia, DeMartelly now lives in Kansas City, Missouri, where he heads the Department of Illustration and Graphic Arts at the Kansas City Art Institute. He received his art training at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh; the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; the Belle Arte, in Florence, Italy; and the Royal College of Arts in London.

With all (sincerity?) we welcome DeMartelly to our roster as one whose important… (remaining text destroyed).

From The Original Oil Painting

By Luigi Lucioni

LUIGI LUCIONI has become closely identified with the State of Vermont. Life Magazine has named him “Poet Laureat” of that state. Its trees, mountains and valleys have been almost the single subject of his concentration since he settled on a farm in Vermont years ago.

For these portrayals he has received the major honors which this country gives to its living artists. His “Vermont Pastoral” hangs in the permanent collection of the Carnegies Institute in Pittsburg. The Encyclopedia Britannica Collection owns his “Trees and Mountains”. Others of his portrayals are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City; the Addison Gallery of American Art; the Dayton Art Institute; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; Kansas City Museum; Seattle Museum; Zanesville (Ohio) Museum; High Museums in Atlanta; the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; and others too numerous to mention.

His paintings have received not only museum recognition, but public acceptance with the award to him of Popular Prizes at the Carnegie International Exhibition, and at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
