EDITORS COMMENTS
BENTON: FIELD WORKERS, 1945 captures the essence of American farming in the mid-20th century. In this oil on canvas masterpiece by Thomas Hart Benton, we are transported to a rural field where hardworking men and women are diligently picking cotton. The painting showcases the laborious nature of field work, with workers stooped over their task, carefully filling their baskets with fluffy white cotton. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays each worker's posture and expression, conveying both determination and exhaustion. Amidst the vast expanse of the plantation, these African American field workers stand as a testament to resilience and strength. Their presence highlights an important part of America's history - one that cannot be ignored or forgotten. As we gaze upon this artwork from The Granger Collection, New York / The Granger Collection, we can almost feel the heat of the sun beating down on us. We can imagine hearing snippets of conversation between workers or perhaps catching a glimpse of relief as they take a moment to quench their thirst from water containers nearby. Benton's portrayal reminds us not only of the hardships faced by those who worked tirelessly in agriculture but also serves as a tribute to their invaluable contributions. This print is more than just art; it is a window into our past and an opportunity for reflection.
