From humble beginnings sketching Iowa's cornfields and rolling
hills as a child, Grant Wood became the father of regionalism, an
artistic movement that celebrated the simple and real-life
surroundings of the people. When studying art in Europe in the
early 20th century, Grant couldn't find a style that touched his
heart quite right. Impressionism, cubism, and abstract art didn't
reflect his view of the world. It wasn't until he stumbled upon
Gothic art that Grant recognized something familiar. Back home in
America, Grant asked his sister and his dentist to pose for what
would become the founding, iconic image of regionalism and a
uniquely American work of art. Grant's art celebrated hard-working
Americans who finally saw themselves in fine art. American Gothic
is a picture-book biography that explores the birth of the famous
painting, the movement that made it possible, and the artist who
created it all.
