Grant Wood Exhibit Probes Hidden Modernist World
The Whitney Museum retrospective "Grant Wood American Gothic and Other Fables" includes a 1939 lithograph banned as pornography by the U S Post Office and a study of Wood's shifting gendered identity. The show traces his career from early design to a self defined American style, noting reactions to sexuality and politics.
