Product Description

Published to coincide with the opening of Grant Wood's studio at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art in Iowa, this in-depth exploration of the artist's most fruitful period brings together some of his best-known paintings and rarely seen decorative art works. The modest nineteenth-century red brick carriage house in a small Midwestern city offers no indication that it once housed one of America's most revered artists. But step inside the doors of 5 Turner Alley and discover a space which exudes the essence of American utility, simplicity and inventiveness that distinguishes Wood's work. This exquisitely produced volume provides new clues to Wood's success as a painter, craftsman and designer. It includes an essay by U of Iowa professor of art, Joni Kinsey.
