Grant Wood Art

American, 1891-1942
One of the major American Regionalist painters along with Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry, Grant Wood was born in Anamosa, Iowa, and spent his childhood in Cedar Rapids. Unlike Curry and Benton, he never moved East but remained in the Middle West where he found inspiration for his paintings of prosperous farms and people reflecting idealized American values. However, his work was set apart from many regionalists in that provoked both laughter and social indignation. A good example Daughters of Revolution, 1932, depicting the aloof smugness of women who regarded themselves as emblematic of the country's founding values This painting was a retaliation by Wood against DAR members who had criticized him for completing their window in Germany instead of America. Much of his satire was good natured and humorous. For two summers, Wood attended the Minneapolis School of Design and Handicraft and Normal Art as a student of Ernest Batchelder, and he had brief times of study at Iowa State University and the Art Institute of Chicago from 1913 to 1916. After World War I, he taught high school art in Cedar Rapids. Asserting that he "had to go to France to appreciate Iowa," he had several trips abroad, and in 1923 enrolled in the Academie Julian in Paris, but he determined to make his life in Iowa because "all the really good ideas I'd ever had came to me while I was milking a cow." In 1932, he was co-founder of the Stone City Art Colony and Art School and he became director of the Public Works Art Project in Iowa. He was also an Associate Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Iowa. His work can be divided into two periods, the first being views of Cedar Rapids, other landscapes including scenes of Europe, and a few portraits. However, in 1928, his work changed when he traveled to Munich to oversee the making of a stained-glass window for the Cedar Rapids Veterans Memorial Building commissioned by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Seeing the severe, austere new style of painting in Germany combined with work from the late Gothic period, he developed a unique new style of his own that treated mid-western subjects with Gothic overtones, satire, and caricature. In 1930, he produced his first major landscape painting, Stone City, that had exaggerated perspective and unique naive treatment. From that time, his paintings had a simple innocence and fantasy that transported the viewer into another world, often that of a child. He also did many murals and a few lithographs, completing nineteen between 1937 and 1942, the year he died of cancer at age 50 in Iowa City.

Carmel Beach
By Willard Dixon
Located in Burlingame, CA
A tranquil oil painting featuring an early evening sunset with people strolling on the main beach in Carmel in front of a majestic sky from Willard Dixon, who is one of the finest American contemporary realist painters today. Dixon has painted coastal landscapes for 35 years, capturing the undeniable beauty of the West with its grand and humble spirit. The painting, with its atmospheric light and calm color palette in natural sky blue and setting sun warm red to purple, is contemporary and serene. The colors are reminiscent of Rothko as they shift in natural bands. Looking at this painting is like looking through a window to a lovely moment as the close of a day. Dixon’s work can be found in numerous distinctive private and public collections, as well as the San Francisco Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and his work is collected Internationally. Artist signed and dated. A classic Dixon that will sure to bring those who view it a life time of pleasure. Carmel Beach, 18 x 53 inches. Oil on canvas, and traditionally framed in contemporary, minimal oak floater frame.

"Misty City", Oil Painting
By Christopher Clark 1
Located in Denver, CO
Christopher Clark's (US based) "Misty City" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts orange and green hued clouds arching over a water and city lights Bio/artist statement: Christopher has been an artist since early childhood, when he would watch Bob Ross on PBS and mimic the famed oil painter’s art with crayons. He considers himself a self-educated artist, with his studies ranging from personal training with contemporary masters, to classical academic art technique, with much inspiration from 19th Century art and the Impressionist Movement. Christopher lived in Italy for a time, immersing himself in Italian culture and art, which continues to influence his painting. His fan base has grown considerably since his return to the US, gaining the attention of Lucasfilm and Marvel Fine Art, which both signed him as an officially licensed artist in 2016. Other clients include George Lucas, Major League Baseball, Louisville Slugger...

Reproduced and Exhibited: 'American Master Prints from the Betty and Douglas Duffy Collection', the trust for museum exhibitions Washington, D.C., 1987; 'Pressed In Time: American Prints 1905-1950', Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marino, 2007.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Grant Wood (1892- 1942) was born in Anamona, Iowa, and lived for ten years on a farm in that area. When his father died in 1901, his mother sold the farm and moved to Cedar Rapids, which was to remain the center of Wood’s world. Principally self-taught, Wood received his art education in a summer class at the Minneapolis School of Design, Handicraft and Normal Art; two years at the University of Iowa; and night school at the Art Institute of Chicago. He made several trips to Europe and studied briefly at the Académie Julien in Paris. Wood was cofounder of the Stone City Art Colony and Art School and was director of the Public Works of Art Project in Iowa from 1933-1934. On a trip to Munich in 1928 to supervise the execution of a stained glass window for the Cedar Rapids Veterans Memorial Building, he studied the northern Renaissance masters, whose crystalline realism and work with layered oil glazes influenced his highly-crafted style of painting. Wood’s other sources of inspiration were American folk paintings and nineteenth-century townscapes. The turning point in Wood’s career came in 1930 when he won a bronze medal at the Art Institute of Chicago for his painting American Gothic. The image received national recognition, and Wood became famous overnight. In 1937, Wood began making lithographs for the Associated American Artists. These works, imbued with the same humorous satire and meticulous craftsmanship that Wood employed in his paintings, are celebrated as iconic images of American Regionalism...

Questions About Grant Wood Art
  • Where is Grant Wood from?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Grant Wood is from Iowa. The American artist was born in Anamosa, Iowa, in 1891 and grew up in nearby Cedar Rapids. Unlike other American regionalist painters like John Steuart Curry and Thomas Hart Benton, Wood never moved East but remained in the Middle West, where he found inspiration for his paintings of prosperous farms and people reflecting idealized American values. He died in Iowa City, Iowa, in 1942, at the age of 51. Find an extraordinary collection of art for sale on 1stDibs.
