.....Thomas Hart Benton and his Art.......

Thomas Hart Benton is one of Neosho's most famous Son's
Here is a tribute to some of his art work

Thomas Hart Benton's The Sources of Country Music portrays 17 nearly life-sized figures and illustrates the various cultural influences on country music, including a train, a steamboat, a black banjo player, country fiddlers and dulcimer players, hymn singers and square dancers. The painting memorializes entertainer Tex Ritter as the singing cowboy on the right.
