1920 -1941 · Farm, family home and American Gothic
At Grant Wood, the house is a portrait: window, roof, cladding and garden reveal the values, memories and contradictions of rural America.
Grant Wood grew up in Iowa and throughout his life retained a precise attention to the houses, barns, schools and small architecture of the Midwest. Trained in decorative arts and crafts, he knew how to build, arrange and draw buildings as well as paint them. His first European trips introduced him to impressionism, then a stay in Munich in 1928 and the study of the masters of the North directed him towards a smooth surface, clear contours and meticulous detail. American Gothic introduced him to impressionism, then a stay in Munich in 1928 and the study of the masters of the North directed him towards a smooth surface, clear contours and meticulous detail. American Gothic was born in 1930 when he noticed in Eldon, Iowa, a small Carpenter Gothic style house, recognizable by its pointed window. He imagined the people likely to live there and had his sister Nan and pose his dentist, Dr. McKeeby, like a farmer and his daughter. The fork, the seams of the overalls and the window repeat their verticals. The ambiguity between homage and satire makes the image an icon. Other works isolate the house itself. Herbert Hoover's birthplace transforms a modest West Branch home into a national monument. Sunny house uses light, facade and garden to evoke daily stability. Grandma Wood's birthplace inscribes architecture in the family memory, while Grandma Wood's house inscribes architecture in the family memory, while La Petite Chapelle, Chancelade recalls the artist's French travels. Wood thus shows that regional identity does not reside only in the figures : it is also built in inhabited forms. The "Houses and Architecture of Grant Wood" selection notably compares American Gothic and The Birthplace of Herbert Hoover, West Branch, Iowa. His reading favors movement.
For Grant Wood, a facade has a character as precise as a face: the window looks, the roof protects and each line tells of a way of living.
