This book has sat on our shelves for years and I had never read it, looked at it but never read it. I read an article about Grant Wood and decided I needed to check this book out. A quick read but a good introduction to his life and work. I hope to make a journey to Stone City IA and the the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art this spring.

Nice biography of Grant Wood with large color plates of his paintings, both the more famous one and earlier paintings. Also enjoyed the background information for some of the paintings.
