Grant Wood
I think that Grant Wood is a great artist that makes amazing art. He was born on Febuary 13, 1891 and died on Febuary 12 1942. He lived in Anamosa Iowa. He painted scenes of the land and the lifesyles of people. He showed an intrest in art at a very young age. He drew pictures with broken sticks that his mom gave him. everyone thought he would grow up to be a farmer not a painter. When his father died him and his mom moved to a city near cedar rapids. He graduated in 1910.
