Study of Male Figure Pushing, 1972
Graphite on Paper
Page 11 3/4" x 14 1/2''
Image 12 1/2" x 7"
This is a study for the figure turning a windless on the right-hand side of Benton’s mural Turn of the Century Joplin of 1972, in the Civic Center, Joplin, Missouri. Benton’s young friend John Callison posed for this figure; his wife Kay for the figure of the woman on the far left.
Dimension
Height: 11.75 inWidth: 14.50 in - Provenance
Acquired by Vincent and Leah Campanella directly from Thomas and Rita Benton over the course of their 25 year friendship. A portion of the collection was given to the Campanellas by Rita in 1975 as compensation for Vincent completing "The Sources of Country Music," the mural left unfinished when Tom passed away in 1975. Vincent Campanella was later prominently featured in the Ken Burns documentary Thomas Hart Benton (1988). In 2001, the Campanella family sold the collection to the current owner, a private Kansas City collector.
Benton scholar and author, Dr. Henry Adams, has authenticated the entire collection in person. You can find his essay documenting the 25 year tumultuous friendship of Vincent and Thomas and the origins of the collection at Circle-Auction.com. A copy of his essay will be provided to all winning bidders.
