19: THOMAS HART BENTON (1889-1975) ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATION

Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975)
(1934)
The original pen and ink portrait of Edgar Varese with graphite shading and artist's signature in graphite was published in the May-June 1934 edition of TREND, a magazine of the Arts (see a copy of the magazine verso).

Varese was a French-American composer noted for his distinctive style based on 'complex acoustic and theoretical principles' which broke down the distinctions between music and noise; dissonance and consonance.
Image measures 5 x 4 with a framed size of 17.75 x 14.5 inches.
Apparently the condition is very good, very clean, intact, no visible stain, damage, repair, punctures or tears. This work has not been examined outside the frame.
