About the Artist

Grant Wood
Grant Wood began his career working as a craftsman in wood and metal. He acquired the first major patron for his art after studying at the Academie Julian in Paris. He became inspired by he sharply detailed paintings of the 15th and 16th century German masters and began painting the local scenes and portraits that won him world fame. “American Gothic” caused a sensation when it was displayed in Chicago in 1930. Wood believed that artists should paint from experience in their local communities. He often incorporated satire into his work. Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry are considered the heavyweights in the American regionalist movement.
