- Lot Description
Grant Wood (1891-1942)
Fruits
1939
The lithograph from an edition of 250 prints is signed by Grant Wood lower right side of the image and published by Associated American Artists in an edition of 250 prints. The colors were applied by Grant Wood's sister, Nan Wood Graham.
The Associated American Artists commissioned Grant Wood to produce a series of four lithographs for distribution to commemorate their fifth year in business - 1939. For this project, Wood recruited his sister Nan Wood Graham (the female likeness in American Gothic) to color each lithograph in watercolor by hand. The result was four still life compositions titled Wild Flowers, Tame Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables. Sources say it took three years to complete the one thousand prints. They were offered by mail order for $10 each.
The AAA was founded by Reeves Lewenthal in 1934 with the idea of bringing art by prominent American artists into the homes of everyday people at a time when original artwork was out of reach for many. The model proved to be a win-win situation that lasted for more than 60 years. It allowed artists to earn income at a time when many were struggling due to the economic hardships of the Great Depression, while also providing the general public with affordable access to art. The concept also made the arts more inclusive overall during a challenging period in American history.
