John Steuart Curry
1897 - 1946
Born in Dunavant, Kansas on November 14, 1897, John Steuart
Curry became the youngest member of the famed "Benton-Wood-Curry
trio" of Regional Painters of the early 20th-century American Scene
movement. He gained national reputation for his Kansas rural scenes
of people terrorized by natural phenomena such as tornadoes, drab
farm-house living conditions, religious gatherings such as prayer
meeting and baptisms, and spirited animals who got out of control.
