Thomas Hart Benton studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and lived in Paris and New York, but upon returning to his native Missouri in the mid-1930s he rejected the avant-garde art movements and urban themes of those centers for a folksy, nationalistic realism that he developed in paintings and murals. Together with the painters John Steuart Curry, Joe Jones, and Grant Wood, he became a leading exponent of American Regionalism. The roughened hands of the husband and wife depicted in The Lord Is My Shepherd testify to decades of hard work, and a Bible sampler on the wall affirms their faith. The couple assume a symbolic stature in this painting as emblems of a pious, simple life, though they were modeled on two specific individuals, Sabrina and George West. In Chilmark, the town where Benton summered for more than fifty years on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, a particular form of hereditary deafness was prevalent and affected the Wests, among many others of Benton’s neighbors. This oversized postcard features Benton's The Lord is my Shepherd (1926).
