 | Grant Wood by Brady M. Roberts, Helen Mar Parkin, James M. Dennis, James S. Horns
Grant Wood`s (1891-1942) paintings epitomized the Regionalist movement and attracted an immense popular audience. This book, published as the catalog for the traveling exhibit which premiered at the Davenport Museum of Art in Iowa (1995), is richly illustrated with some sixty of Wood`s paintings and preparatory studies. The text examines Modernist influences on the artist, specifically in relation to his abstract design principles and the lasting influence of Neo-Impressionism on his painting. The generous color reproductions in this catalog are superb, but even more valuable are the refreshing, atypical essays about Wood`s Modernist influences, his methods of composition, and scientific studies of his painting techniques. Highly recommended. -- Ballast Quarterly Review AUTHOR: Brady M. Roberts, Helen Mar Parkin, James M. Dennis, James S. Horns
