Description

This striking vintage lithograph titled "Lonesome Road" by renowned American artist Thomas Hart Benton captures the raw emotion and profound social commentary that define much of his work. The print evokes the hardship, poverty, and isolation that plagued many parts of rural America during the early 20th century. With masterful detail, Benton illustrates a poignant scene of a downtrodden Black man driving a small, weary mule-drawn cart past a dilapidated shack, against a backdrop of bleak, enclosing hills. - Medium: Lithograph on paper - Era: c.1930s - Dimensions (approx): Image is 10" wide x 7 1/2" ; Sheet is 11" x 8 1/2" - Frame: Not included - Condition: In excellent vintage condition with very light signs of wear from age and storage. - Subject Matter: Rural dance hall, fiddler, dancing couple, rustic setting - Style: Depression-Era Regionalism Art - Wonderful for framing. - Image on one side of page, description on reverse. - Carefully packed and shipped
