Renowned American artist (1889–1975) whose distinctive ‘regionalist’ style made him one of the most influential figures in American art during the 1930s and 1940s. His large-scale murals, often peopled by lanky, exaggerated human figures, became classic visual emblems of both idyllic rural culture and bustling urbanism in Depression-era America. ALS signed “Tom, Thos. H. Benton,” one page, 8.5 x 11, May 2, 1965. Letter to John reads, in full: “I arrived down here without thinking that it was Sunday. I pestered Steve as the clock turned toward five o'clock, until he opened your house. The reason—Steve said—you had Bourbon Whiskey stored away there. I did not open a new bottle but, sort of finished off what was already opened. If you want it back the whiskey come around to my house in K.C. about 5' oclock [sic]—(call beforehand) and I'll give it to you, your wife, children, and friends with interest.” In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold and some scattered light toning.
