I am really pleased that upon completion of a succesful show in Philadelphia we have acquired a new work by John Setwart Curry. It combines our love of figurative art with one of our favorite works of fiction.
The illustrations for the 1944 version of Red badge of courage were done by John Stewart Curry one of the regionalist artist of the 20th century.
John Steuart Curry (November 14, 1897–August 29, 1946) was an American painter whose career spanned from 1924 until his death. He was noted for his paintings depicting life in his home state, Kansas. Along with Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood, he was hailed as one of the three great painters of American Regionalism of the first half of the twentieth century.
