THOMAS HART BENTON The Race.
Lithograph, 1942. 225x337 mm; 8 7/8x13 1/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 250. Signed and dedicated in pencil, lower margin. Published by Associated American Artists, New York. A superb, richly-inked impression of this important American lithograph.
Based on the same-titled oil painting, now in a private American collection. Benton (1889-1975) shows a lone horse racing a steam engine across a barren midwestern prairie. The telephone pole and line are the only other signs of human presence in this bygone scene. Fath 56.
