Good Condition. Minor tears to jacket cover. Discoloration on top of pages

This was a fantastic overview - a readable 'coffee table' book. It is large, too heavy to hold comfortably. If limited to one volume to review Benton, or Regionalism as a whole, this would be my easy choice.

Benton's casual racism and sexism make this almost unreadable to a modern reader - I wonder if the still-in-print edition is toned down?

Purchased a 1939 edition from a used book store in Lawrence long ago, finally read following a long overdue visit to the Benton House, a Missouri State Park, on my last trip to KC

He was the center of the artist colony on Martha's Vineyard, and developed relationships with several other artists of the day, including Jackson Pollock and John Steuart Curry.
