A powerful example of Benton’s narrative eye, Investigation (1937) captures the tension, grit, and human drama that defined his Social Realist period. The lithograph’s compact scale intensifies the scene, pulling the viewer directly into the moment as Benton’s signature sculptural linework drives the emotional weight of the composition. A compelling piece for collectors of American Regionalism and early 20th‑century printmaking.

I’m also including Benton’s own notes on the piece
