• THOMAS HART BENTON "RUNNING HORSES"
  THOMAS HART BENTON "RUNNING HORSES" 1955 SIGNED LITHOGRAPHThomas Hart Benton (American, 1889-1975) Running Horses , 1955 Lithograph on paper 12 1/2" x 16 1/2" (image) Edition of 100 Pencil-signed to the bottom right margin. The period glazed walnut frame measures 19 1/2" x 23 1/2". The second Benton lithograph to prominently juxtapose the steam train with horses at full sprint, Running Horses follows in the footsteps of The Race (1942). The former prompted Benton to wonder "Why did horses so often run with the steam trains while they now pay no attention to the Diesels?" Billowing steam engines inhabit many of Benton's most beloved lithographs, from Going West (1934) and Jesse James (1936) to Wreck of the Ol' 97 (1944) and Ten Pound Hammer (1967); the imposing trains strike the figure of relentless progress: the inevitability of westward expansion, of industry, and of modernism. From an edition of 100, circulated by Associated American Artists. Literature: The Lithographs of Thomas Hart Benton By Creekmore Fath - #78. Condition Good condition. The sheet is not laid down. There is a faint horizontal crease at the right edge of the image. Typical minor toning inside the mat window. A few thin tape shavings are caught between the frame's glass and the top of the mat.

• 7 BARBARA VAN CLEVE PHOTOS -
  7 BARBARA VAN CLEVE PHOTOS - RANCH LIFE, 1980SBarbara Van Cleve (American, b. 1935). "Filly Chasing" "Running Before the Storm"; "Noon Break"; "Running Horses"; "Team Roping Motion"; "Tough Hombres" and "Barbara Page VanCleve - Photographer and Horsewoman", 1980s. A fabulous ensemble of 7 black and white photographs - 6 depicting ranch life by Barbara Van Cleve - and one depicting a portrait of Van Cleve holding her camera below an antlered skull. Born and raised in Montana on the Lazy K Bar Ranch beneath the Crazy Mountains, Van Cleve has shot photographs on horseback, traveling from Montana to New Mexico, chronicling the ranchers' way of life she has known since childhood. Van Cleve shot on horseback, because she aimed to give the viewer that privileged vantage point, as if we too are on horseback taking in all the action of ranch life, watching cowboys move cattle toward the corrals as the animals kick up dust from the earth and the sun glows early in the morning. Through her photography, Van Cleve shares the ranchers' commitment to preserve this way of life. Size of each sheet: 10" L x 8" W (25.4 cm x 20.3 cm) Van Cleve's words capture the beauty that she sees in the Montana landscape, even in simple, oftentimes overlooked details, such as the dust kicked up by the animals. "To see the dust. So many people think of dust as just dirt, you know, airborne dirt, but it isn't. It's a wonderful diffusion screen for the light. It softens things; it outlines things; it indicates a direction of where either horses or cattle are moving in this vast landscape of ours. And that's part of everything that I'd like people to see and that I try to make them see through my photographs." ("Capturing Grace: A Portrait of Barbara Van Cleve," 1993) Artist Biographical Statement: "Barbara Van Cleve’s heritage is rich with family history and firsthand experience. Her family’s ranch, the Lazy K Bar, was founded in 1880 on the east slopes of the Crazy Mountains near Melville, Montana. As a photographer, she has held a camera since she was 11 years old when her parents gave her a 'Brownie' camera and a home developing kit. Her youthful interest in photography soon grew into a lifelong commitment. Ranch work also began early for Barbara. Barely six, she could be found helping at the corrals or sitting astride a horse. Ever since she has been documenting the 'true grit' and romantic beauty of her experiences on the ranch and on other ranches in the West. Along the way, she earned an MA in English Literature at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois; she has been a Dean of Women at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois; and she taught English Literature, and later photography, for over 25 winters at DePaul University, Loyola University and Mundelein College, all in the Chicago area. At the same time photography continued to be a passionate avocation. In her free time, she worked for Rand McNally as a textbook photographer and also established her own stock photography agency. The long summers were usually spent on the family ranch in Montana. She moved to Santa Fe in late 1980 to concentrate on photography full time and had her first major exhibition in the fall of 1985. Since that time she has had over 60 one-person shows and has been in over 100 group shows. Her work is in public and private collections in the United States as well as internationally. Her photography has been published in Roughstock Sonnets, (with poetry by Paul Zarzyski), Way Out West, and Cowboys: A Horseback Heritage. KOAT-TV, an ABC affiliate in Albuquerque, New Mexico produced and aired a thirty-minute video documentary, 'Barbara Van Cleve: Capturing Grace', in 1993. In the Fall, 1995 her book, 'Hard Twist: Western Ranch Women' was published by Museum of New Mexico Press, and she was inducted into the Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas. 'All This Way for the Short Ride' (with poet Paul Zarzyski) was published by the Museum of New Mexico Press in 1997. 'Holding the Reins' written by Marc Talbert and illustrated with her photographs about ranch girls was published by Harper Collins in February 2003. She moved back to Big Timber, Montana, her home town, where she has her studio and is close to the family ranch. Her most recent book, 'Pure Quill' published in 2016, encompasses her remarkable photographic career including a generous selection of photographs and the stories behind them."

  THOMAS HART BENTON (1889-1975) PENCIL SIGNED LITHOGRAPHThomas Hart Benton (1889-1975)Running Horses (1955)The iconic Benton lithograph published by Associated American Artists is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right. Among the lowest of Benton editions, only 75 impressions of this image were turned over to AAA for distribution, though a total of 100 prints were made.Benton's comments in Fath, where this is entered as number 78, are simply, ''Again, horses running with a steam train.'' That comment is likely referring to an earlier entry in the catalog of his prints where he talks about The Race, a similar image. Of horses and locomotives. Benton observes: ''Common enough scene in the days of the steam engine. Why did horses so often run with the steam trains while they now pay no attention to the Diesels?'' Image measures 12.5 x 16.5, sheet is 15.5 x 19.25, and frame is 23.5 x 27.5 inches.Very good to good condition noting some very faint toning around the image and a band of discoloration along the lower edge from masking tape residue verso.
