Wood, Grant

(1892–1942) painter; born in Anamosa, Iowa. After working as a farmer, silversmith, and designer, he made four trips to Europe in the 1920s where he was exposed to the late medieval primitive painting style that would later influence his work. He settled back in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, becoming a painter who captured the idiosyncratic aspects of the people and landscape there, thus becoming a founder of the so-called regional movement. His most famous works, such as American Gothic (1930) and Daughters of Revolution (1932), are characterized by a flat, almost abstract surface and ironic subtext. From 1934 on, he taught painting at the University of Iowa.
