...that lies on the ground, crawls up the wall or dangles from the ceiling that the convention of figure-on-base seems almost an archaeological memory.

It is sad that of all Benton's outstanding works, Hughes deems it fit to mention only The Jealous Lover of Lone Green Valley because it contains a portrait of ex-Pupil Jackson Pollock. Apparently Mr. Hughes is still smarting from the sting of Benton's caustic rejection of much of so-called modern art. Is he also among those seeking revenge...
