Curry was given art lessons as a child, illustrating farm animals and painting landscapes. By 1916, Curry briefly attended the Kansas City Art Institute, before transferring to the Art Institute of Chicago. After a couple of years in Chicago, Curry continued his studies in Pennsylvania at Geneva College.

Curry travelled to Paris in 1926 to study the works of the ‘great masters’ such as Gustave Courbet and Titian. When Curry returned to the United States he continued his eastward migration to New York City. Curry married, but still devoted much of his time to working in his studio and even travelled with the Ringling Brothers Circus.

During the Great Depression Curry was employed through the Federal Art Project at a position that led him back to the Midwest, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Curry travelled throughout Wisconsin, educating farming communities about art. Curry was also commissioned to paint murals for the Department of Justice Building in Washington D.C and the capitol building in Topeka, Kansas.

Curry is often grouped with Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood, as the most important painters of the Regionalism in the United States. Regionalists depicted life in the Midwestern states. Curry painted farmers, families, religious scenes and landscapes, filled with farm animals and occasionally tornados.

Curry’s work has been purchased by the Whitney Museum of Art in New York City, among many other museums and high profile collectors. Do you think you own a painting by John Steuart Curry? Contact us. We are the experts on John Steuart Curry.
