To Meet Thine Consort - Carrie Graber

Not a favorite, per se, but certainly speaks to a part of my family's "American Experience"

Grant DeVolson Wood (February 13, 1891 – February 12, 1942) was an American painter, born in Anamosa, Iowa. He is best known for his paintings depicting the rural American Midwest, particularly the painting American Gothic, an iconic image of the 20th century.

"American Gothic” depicts a farmer and his spinster daughter posing before their house, whose gabled window and tracery, in the American gothic style, inspired the painting’s title. The models were actually Grant’s sister Nan and their dentist. Wood was accused of creating this work as a satire on the intolerance and rigidity that the insular nature of rural life can produce; he denied the accusation. American Gothic is an image that epitomizes the Puritan ethic and virtues that he believed dignified the Midwestern character.

You can also see American Gothic in 3-D on Michigan Avenue, Downtown Chicago. You might be as tall as the suitcase.

oh hell, of course I'm biased!

This piece was created for me by my beloved for my 31st birthday. It really takes me to my happy place. . . Truly one of the most touching gifts I've ever received

Simplistic. Rudimentary style. Yet, compelling.
