Thomas Hart Benton, 1954 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Thomas Hart Benton, 1954

For it should be remembered that a painter, however profound in psychological insight or intellectual equipment, to be a significant artist, must have the talent demanded by his calling the enhancing magic, the creative touch Leonardo talked about. Benton is a born artist: as a draftsman, one of the best of modern times; as a designer in a class by himself; and when he feels like it, capable of the utmost subtleties and refinements of color and texture.
