THOMAS HART BENTON New England Farm.
Lithograph, 1951. 230x355 mm; 9x14 inches, full margins. Intended edition of 300, likely smaller. Signed in pencil, lower right. Published by The Friends of Art of Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas. A superb impression of this very scarce lithograph.
We have found only 8 other impressions at auction in the past 30 years, indicating the intended edition of 300 was never fully realized.
Benton captioned the lithograph, "This is a haying scene on the Martha's Vineyard farm of Denys Wortman, famous NY newspaper cartoonist." Fath 76.
