Grant Wood. Grant DeVolson Wood (February 13, 1891 â February 13, 1942) was an American painter best known for his paintings depicting the rural American Midwest, particularly American Gothic, an iconic painting of the 20th century. 1 Life and career.
Although Wood had intended for some time to do a âportraitâ of Midwestern âtypes,â it is known that the house in Eldon, Iowa inspired the painting Wood called American Gothic, because only the house is shown in surviving preliminary sketches for the painting.oodâs free use of ârealityâ can also be seen by the addition of a barn and by creating a sceneâa man and woman posed in front of the houseâwhich never occurred. The models for the artwork never posed together when they were drawn prior to, or during the painting of American Gothic.
