Tom Benton interview
Brilliant! really well done. I would have loved to hear about his relationship with the Nelson-if there was one and if not what his opinion was and Persephone, what was going on in his head and the process of doing this great painting. I would like to hear more about his experience with the Art Institute and more about his time with Pollock. You need to do this again. more more more.
