Read our latest blog post on ‘Grant Wood: American Gothic and Other Fables’ on view at Whitney Museum of American Art through June 10. This post is by Austin Yoon, Curatorial Intern, The Drawing Center.
.
"The exhibition, which occupies half of the museum’s fifth floor, points out how drawing was integral to the artist’s process. As Wood said of his own work: “I make a design of abstract shapes without any naturalistic details. Until I am satisfied with this abstract picture I don’t go ahead. When I think it’s a sound design, then I start very cautiously making it look like nature.”-go to drawingcenter.org and click on the lower left circle for the full post.
