Grant Wood was an American painter best known as a leading figure of Regionalism. Drawing on the people, landscapes, architecture, and visual traditions of the American Midwest, he developed a precise and highly distinctive style that combined observation with stylization and subtle ambiguity. His "American Gothic" became one of the most recognizable images in American art, while his broader work helped shape debates about national identity and modern American culture.
