"I don't feel that I portray the class struggle, but I do try to depict the American farmer's incessant struggle against the forces of nature." - John Steuart Curry
The least well known of the REGIONALIST triumvirate that included BENSON and WOOD, Curry was Kansas born. He studied at the Kansas City Art Institute before he went to the Art Institute of Chicago, and then, as had his colleagues, on to Paris and New York. The dynamic fervor of Curry's brushwork and figures is seen in pictures like Tornado Over Kansas ( 1929 ), in which a farm family rushes to their underground storm shelter as the threatening funnel approaches. The comment quoted above is pertinent to this work. Curry's murals are in Washington, D.C., and the Kansas state capitol, where he imagined abolitionist John Brown as a latter-day Moses.
