Description

Edge of Town, 1938
Artist: Thomas Hart Benton
Lithograph
8 3/4 x 10 3/4 inches
Signed in pencil lower right

Thomas Hart Benton’s lithograph “Edge of Town” captures a vivid scene of rural American life with his characteristic Regionalist style. The artwork features dynamic lines and rich textures, reflecting the movement and vitality of the countryside. Benton’s use of color and form highlights the contrast between the town’s edge and the surrounding landscape.

Benton wrote: “I aimed to depict the boundary between the town and the open countryside, capturing the essence of the American rural experience. The scene represents the tension between the encroaching civilization and the enduring, untamed land.”
