THOMAS HART BENTON The Race.
Lithograph, 1942. 225x330 mm; 8 7/8x13 inches, full margins. Edition of 250. Signed in pencil, lower right. Published by Associated American Artists, New York. A superb, richly-inked impression of this important lithograph.
This is a study for the same-title oil painting, now in a private collection. Benton shows a lone horse racing a steam engine across a barren midwestern prarie. The telephone pole and line are the only other sign of human presence in this bygone scene. Fath 56.
