Grant Wood Approve
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.

extremely feeble attempt to stimulate your visual senses and empty your pockets of
plethorae of coin.  Every month or so, Club BoxBoy will present for your approval
and amusement a different theme of fabulous BoxBoy product.  Like a box of
extremely inexpensive pastel cream-filled chocolates, you never know what you will
get until you open wide and say "aaahhh."  So enjoy ... and remember that this site
is NOT intended to be a cyber-museum.  We do want your hard-earned money so we
can continue to purchase compact discs, DVDs and eat!  And thus, we commence...
