John Steuart Curry: Show Biz Images

While I have long known the most famous work of regionalist painter John Steuart Curry (1897-1946), I’m quite sure I never knew the name of the artist, because if I had I would have taken note of it long ago. His middle name (his mother’s maiden name) is a rare variant on my own surname, of which there are apparently endless twists: Stewart, Stuart, Steward, Stuard. Anyway, I stumbled upon him…

The Battle of the Amazons, 1926-1927. John Steuart Curry, 1897–1946. Oil on canvas.

“The Amazons were a mythical race of warrior women in Asia Minor, who figure in many Classical stories; the scene depicted here is almost certainly their rout by the Greeks under Theseus on a bridge over the River Thermo-don.” - from a biography of Peter Paul Reubens, referencing Ruebens’ painting of the same name.
