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.

FREDERIC REMINGTON (1861-1909),
FREDERIC REMINGTON (1861-1909), REGISTER ROCK, IDAHO Peter Hassrick wrote, "Geological curiosities become the signposts for civilizations on the move. When the terrain is unfamiliar, natural landmarks guide travelers across uncharted reaches, serving as beacons in the wilderness. But as the paths become worn, so do the guideposts. They soon take on the etched identity of the people who pass and inevitably reflect the human failing to record that 'Kilroy was here."'
"Register Rock in Idaho served the Oregon Trail, and Remington's depiction of it embodies the whole story of Western migration. The bewildered Indian gazes in wonderment at the scribbled initials of an intruding civilization. The cow skulls tell of the journey's hardships for animals that did not complete the journey to greener pastures. This site was the resting spot for many wagon trains; here they spent the night and cooked a meal which may well have consisted of their own oxen."
