Lanford Monroe delved deeply into the soul of American realism. Influenced by her father and mother, artists C. E. and Betty Monroe as well as her parents’ neighbors–none other than John Clymer and Bob Kuhn–Monroe sought a romantic balance between the seen, unseen and half-seen, transforming and transcending her instructors’ lessons. In Soup’s On, Monroe tempers the urgency of a line of ponies whose internal clocks have just sounded the feedbag alarm with a quiet winterscape of soft, leafless trees and a slate gray sky.
