About the Artwork

American Gothic - Original Color - Item # 2609186

American Gothic, 1930 (originally oil on beaver board) by Wood, Grant (1891-1942).

About the Artist

Grant Wood

While Grant Wood is best known for the iconic American Gothic, he was a prolific and versatile painter with a unique style. The Iowa native produced some excellent works celebrating the Midwestern United States during the Great Depression and was a leading light of the American Regionalism movement.

Our collection of Grant Wood wall art is a chance to adorn your walls with a bright and cheery slice of 20th-century Americana.

Who is Grant Wood?

Grant Wood was born in Iowa in 1891. He was an active painter during the Great Depression, a period of much introspection and soul-searching for the nation.

Wood was a key player in the emergence of American Regionalism, a realist modern art movement that focused on small-town rural America.

What are the main characteristics of Grant Wood wall art?

Wood is heavily associated with Regionalism. This art style was very direct and unfussy. It sought to celebrate the characteristics of the Midwestern people, such as a propensity towards hard work, restraint, and a focus on community. In many ways, Regionalism can be viewed as a rejection of European Modernism and its moody abstractions.

Grant Wood canvas prints tend to focus on realistic depictions of American farmlands and rural peoples. While he is strongly associated with portraits, his highly-stylized scenes of countryside towns and landscapes crackle with life and color. Inspired by Renaissance realism but with the curves and geometry of Art Deco, works such as “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” and “Fall Plowing” (both 1931) are some of his greatest works.

Woods' almost cartoonish landscapes offer brightness and buoyancy that can lift any room. His kind eye extended to his subjects, which he always treated with reverence.

How to choose the right Grant Wood canvas prints?

Grant Wood canvas prints can work in several settings. His land and townscapes use symmetry, layered shapes, and bright colors, giving them enough flexibility to work in modern spaces. However, some of his portraits, such as “Parson Weems Fable” (1939), retain a distinctly Renaissance edge that will sit well in more classic exteriors.

Overall, it's the subject matter of Wood's art that truly stands out. These evocative depictions of proud Midwestern people can make an excellent gift for friends and family with roots in the region.

Grant Wood wall art was born of a very particular time. It serves as a document of rural America's movement toward technological modernity and the steadfast qualities that helped the country recover from the Great Depression to become the world's most vibrant economy.
