Hello,

I have not seen those specific catalogs listed in our catalog, but when I have a moment I can go down to our archive and see if we have the 'Kansas City Remembers' catalog.   Thomas Hart Benton was on the faculty here at KCAI so we do have multiple folders in our archive with news clippings, meeting minutes and other similar documents on this artist.  You can link to the records of the material that we have on Benton in our archive here. 

I will try and take a look in our archive for materials on these specific topics this morning.  Feel free to reach out off list.

Thanks,

Lora

Hi, all,

 

A graduate student is looking for some information about Thomas Hart Benton and his depictions of Native Americans, both early and late in his career.  Also, she is interested in the patronage of Robert Moses, who hired Benton to do the murals at the Niagara Power Plant in the late 1950s.  So far we haven’t had much luck finding any primary source materials related to the murals or to Moses.

 

She is looking for these three exhibition catalogs, but I can’t find them.  Does anyone have them, and can scan them for us?

 

"Thomas Hart Benton: American Mythologies" in the Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum at Southeast Missouri State University's River Campus. 2015

“Kansas City Remembers: Thomas Hart Benton 1889-1975,” Kansas City, MO: Federal Bank of Kansas City, 1989

“Texas Realism,” Dallas Meadows Museum, Southern Methodist University, 1991.

 

She found a bibliography that indicates the murals she is interested in are mentioned in these three sources.

 

She will be contacting some places we found that may have materials, but do any of you have artist files or clippings or information about Thomas Hart Benton’s early depictions of Native Americans, or of those depicted in the Niagara power plant murals depicting Native Americans?

 

Do any of you have anything that would provide us with information about Moses’s patronage of Benton’s murals?

 

Thanks so much for any help you can give!

 

Peggy
