"In terms of art, perhaps no American painter in the Depression-haunted 1930s and war-torn 1940s represented the national character and ideals better than Thomas Hart Benton, the highly energetic Midwestern artist who managed to combine the calloused puritanism of the heartland and a Mark Twain bent for rural good humor to produce an idealized and affectionate 'Regionalism' in a wealth of paintings, drawings and murals that to this day are cited as evocations of the essence of the American spirit."
