Drawing
Most artists interested in depicting machine subjects looked to the city for inspiration. Thomas Hart Benton’s Regionalist vision looked to the rural areas of middle America for subject matter. In this drawing, Benton illustrates how an engine-powered threshing machine was fundamentally changing agricultural labor. Thomas Hart Benton was less interested in the physicality of the actual machine and more interested in the ways in which machines impacted the lives and labors of man.
