American Gothic
Exhibit: September - October, 2005
|
Both of my parents grew up on farms in the Midwest. I was born in Washington, Iowa in 1952 and lived there for six years. The images of our home, and the homes and farms of friends and relatives remain sharp in my mind. The culture of the Midwest in the mid 20th century was special in a way that is hard to describe in words. Grant Wood describes many of my feelings about the Mmidwest in his painting, “American Gothic”. It struck a nerve for me and millions of Americans.
The people and buildings depicted in this catalog are symbolic of a particular era and way of life, and go a long way toward describing my own fascination with “American Gothic” and what was special for me as a child.
