| Your BoxBoy is always trying to shake things up. Different is good, and besides, we need to do something constructive to alleviate our attention deficit disorder. No wonder it takes us six months to finish a book these days! We have had much, much success over the past few years with our framings, so we have decided to dedicate your Club BoxBoy page to a different bastardization of classic art pieces over the next year or so. Plus, we will be offering some basic information on each artist in our continuing attempt to learn you something new. Nothing is sacred and you may even be scared, but like our motto so proudly proclaims, "Comfort the Disturbed, Disturb the Comfortable." Grant DeVolson Wood (1891-1942) was born in Iowa and painted "American Gothic" in 1930. The 29.25 x 24.5-inch painting depicts a farmer (modeled by Wood's dentist, Byron McKeeby, and his spinster daughter, modeled by Wood's sister, Nan. The oil on beaverboard painting was awarded a bronze medal and a $300 prize in a 1930 competition at the Art Institute of Chicago , where the painting still hangs. Next Up: The Last Supper, Part I |
