The documentary about illustration called Making It that Woody is working on posted a link to a Ken Burns doc about Thomas Hart Benton on their Facebook page this week. I just watched it and what a fascinating life story!

No need to order the video, it can be viewed on Hulu Plus. You can watch free for a week if you sign up.

There are some of his murals at Indiana University that David Hartz posted a while ago. Road trip anyone?
