	Thomas Hart Benton, Challenge to Modernism, Bard College; Queens Museum, New York City
		Benton's search for artistic and human meaning within his own country was swept aside, at least in the public eye, media and art world, though not in his own mind, by the wave of internationalism created by World War II.
		Benton's realism is of a nearly conceptual kind based upon vast personal contact with the people, land and activities that make up his experience, and endless drawing and painting of that experience.
		Benton clearly expresses duality in his lithograph, based on the painting, "Wreck of the Ol' '97,'" 1944, in which a smoke-belching fl locomotive careens disastrously toward a broken rail at a crossing where a rearing white horse topples a woman from a wagon.
