Paperback. Zustand: New. Discover the carefully crafted and quietly complex art of Grant Wood (1891-1942), the American painter best known for his sharply observed images of Midwestern people, farms, towns, and landscapes. This pocket guide explores Wood's life and career while revealing what to look for in his precise surfaces, simplified forms, rolling patterns, dry humor, and mixture of affection, nostalgia, and social observation.

Biographical insights, memorable anecdotes, a personal portrait, and revealing quotations help separate the artist from the myths surrounding his most famous images.
