St. Paul, MN: Minnesota Museum of American Art, 2011. Exhibition Label Copy the most recent text made for a exhibition didactic label Thomas Hart Benton was the leader of American Scene painting, a regionalist aesthetic that reflected a strong connection to the land during the hardships of the 1930s and 1940s. Painted at the end of World War II, Shocking Corn celebrates the dedicated work of American farmers as they toiled and sweated in fields of the Midwest. It depicts two men “shocking” corn, which means to form upright piles of corn stalks for drying. Through repetitive forms and integrated, painted gestures, Benton embeds the farmers within the landscape, begging the question: Are the men working the land, or is the land perfectly capable of cultivating itself? Title Shocking Corn Date 1945 Description describe the object Thomas Hart Benton's painting of a rural American landscape shows two farmers working in the field forming high upright piles of corn stalks. He juxtaposes his farmers, who wear red and white shirts and blue and black pants, with the golden figural corn stalks in the foreground. The painting is made up of prominent brushstrokes that form a series of undulating curved forms, each echoing the others’ shape. For example, the hills in the background mirror the shape of the clouds. Inscriptions Inscribe any words, names or phrases that have been written, engraved or etched onto the object.

Burchfield 1893-1967 Born in Ashtabula Harbor, OH Died in West Seneca, NY Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Painting Medium Watercolor and gouache on paper Exhibition Label Copy the most recent text made for a exhibition didactic label Charles Burchfield created this fresh and animated work in 1917, a time he called his “golden year” when he lived as a 24-year-old in his hometown of Salem, Ohio. Working as a clerk in a local sheet metal factory, he would walk to and from work, exploring the landscape for ideas for his artwork. He captured the hazy quality of spring light in this backyard through the application of white gouache, which stands out against the buff colored paper. The darkness, or “lowering” of the day, is noted in the relatively somber palette of colors, punctuated only sparingly with flashes of yellow and blue.
