About the Artist
John Curry
Characteristic of the regionalist movement, John Steuart Curry’s work confornted challenges of modern life in subjects ranging from religious fanaticism to bigotry to environmental destruction to war, in a reaction against European modernist trends. In a renaissance of public art encouraged by the New Deal, Curry’s murals celebrate what he felt was an indigenous and democratic American art. John Steuart Curry, Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood are considered the heavyweights in the American regionalist movement.
