Thomas Hart Benton: The Sources of Country Music

This award-winning documentary offers a rare opportunity to view one of America's finest artists, Thomas Hart Benton (April 15, 1889 - January 19, 1975), working on the final mural he ever painted, "The Sources of Country Music." Just hours after completing the work he died in his studio with his brush still in his hand.
