He was trained as a craftsman and designer as well as a painter. On a visit to Germany in 1928, he was strongly influenced by the sharp detail of 15th-century German and Flemish paintings, and he soon abandoned his Impressionist manner for the detailed, realistic manner for which he is known. His American Gothic caused a sensation when exhibited in 1930. A telling portrait of the sober, hardworking Midwestern farmer, it has become one of the best-known icons of U.S. art, though it is often misinterpreted: the woman is not the man's wife but rather the unmarried daughter designated to stay on the farm to assist her widowed father.\n","brand":"Grant Wood","offers":[{"title":"10.25x8.5 image on 14x11 Paper","offer_id":53955303244068,"sku":"W2397pf","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/4033\/files\/W2397.jpg?v=1778699123","url":"https:\/\/www.mcgawgraphics.com\/products\/grant-wood-plaid-sweater-1931","provider":"McGaw Graphics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
