~ Grant Wood ~

I love this quote! I love being an artist, I love been an Iowan, so when I tripped over this quote while looking up shows for 2010, it made me smile and laugh.

If you don't know who Grant Wood is, here is a couple of websites:

his most famous painting is "American Gothic" and it's probably one of the most parodied American pieces of art.

I think you could make a pretty good case that Grant Woods is one of the most famous American Artists. And he's from Iowa. Kewl.

Back to show research!
