    [removed] printed label: A LIMITED EDITION Signed Original Lithograph \ BY GRANT WOOD \ Briefly concerning the artist- "July 15" [in ink] \ Grant Wood has become world-famed for his ability tio use American \ subject matter in an original fashion. Wood confines himself to the quieter \ and more stable aspects of American life. \ Grant Wood is a pioneer in the movement to enrich the cultural soil of \ America by establishing local centers of production in art. Long before the \ Federal Government entered the art field he had experimented with a \ colony of students at Stone City, Iowa. He has sent hundreds of artists \ back to the farm and to the Main Street. In 1930 the artist received the Harris \ bronze medal from the Art Institute at Chicago. Two of his important \ works, "Woman with Plants" and "Doorway at Periguex" are to be found \ at the Cedar Rapids Art Association. "American Gothic" is in the Art \ Institute at Chicago. Other of his works are in the Lincoln, Nebraska Art \ Association; The Art Institute of Omaha, Nebraska; Dubuque, Iowa Art \ Association. In the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York are \ drawings for Mr. Wood's famous painting, "Dinner for Threshers." He is the author of the book, "Return from Bohemia" which is scheduled for \ publication next Fall. \ Associated American Artists, 711 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y.
