AbstractThere can be no question as to the timeliness of the extensive reexamination of Grant Wood and the Regionalist vision organized by The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and curated by Wanda Corn. The last Grant Wood exhibition in New York City was in 1936. Since then nearly half a century has passed with its attendant births and deaths, assessments and reassessments, of art movements. There have been numerous exhibitions of other thirties' movements, such as Precisionism, Social Realism, New Deal art, in general and specific. Individual “American Scene” painters, such as Hopper, Burchfield, and Marsh, have been given their due. And, of course, Modernism's many sides have undergone extensive analyses by curators and scholars.
