Wild Flowers, 1938 by Grant Wood, Assorted collections.

During the Depression many artists were not able to make a living so two New York Art Dealers commissioned working artists such as Wood to do a series of lithographs that they sold in the back of magazines for $5-$10 each. Today some of them go for around $10,000.

The colored images were done in watercolor by Wood’s sister Nan who was also the model for the daughter in American Gothic.

If only I could travel back in time....
