Wood (1891-1942) was one of the most well-known muralists of the WPA, having rose to celebrity status after his painting American Gothic won a bronze medal at the Art Institute of Chicago. Wood had always wished to re-create the Midwest as an arts center and helped to found an artist colony in his native Cedar Rapids in 1932. Cole 7.
