Not only are his themes of rural poor American seen in the Haystack, they can also be seen in other works of his such as in his rendition of the nude goddess Persephone, "which also references the rural farmer and his work, and perhaps his hardships, within the seasons (CM)." Since the US government created the Federal Arts Project, many artists such as Benton, had a chance to develop their work into what would come to be known as the American Scene era. Coming from very different time periods, Andre Derain and Thomas Hart Benton both incorporate their genre's style into their own expressive art. Both of these men were influential leaders of their periods and painted images in a similar way, even if their art does represent different time periods. Derain's painting of The Turning Road and Benton's painting of the Haystack depict similar subject matter. The images in the two paintings that are similar are the curving road, the trees, the workers and also the horse which is seen in both images. Both The Turning Road and the Haystack show an outdoor scene from the daytime with workers going about their busy everyday lives. These two paintings display a theme of "man working in harmony with nature," which was stated in the Haystack's information card but can clearly be associated with The Turning Road as well. .
According to the museum information card on Derain's piece, "choreographed forms of villagers all sway to an integrated rhythm," giving this painting movement. This can also be seen in Benton's piece since the museum information card on Haystack states that this image is depicted through "rhythmic swirls of paint and lyrical movement." Derain's piece also portrays a more rural scene and is "far from the urban bustle of London's waterways (CM)" as seen in Benton's work which shows the laborious rural poor of the depression era.

(Tilley '94 conclusion) It's a long way from rural New South Wales to rural n/e France or more precisely the other way around but with the right light and a morning mist and possibly the squinting of eyes, a paddock with a haystack here could be there or there here. Though of course it would only be a trick of the mind and the light, the paddocks and the haystacks carry their own stories which would refuse to engage in such deception but they may be captured in their own elements, engaged in that moment of mist filled eye-squint, to mingle and enmesh with the viewers stories/ memori...
