I've been at the library for more than 10 years now, and I still find joy when choosing the best books for our readers. My current reading journey is taking me book by book through different genres. I'm challenging myself to find books that are enough outside my wheelhouse that I'd pass them by on first glance. The genre I'm looking forward to... more

  • Grant Wood's Memorial Masterpiece

    by Barbara Feller

    759.13 /Wood
    Nonfiction, Art / Art History

    Two years before Grant Wood painted American Gothic, he began working on what the author believes to be his most important work of art: a stained-glass window honoring Iowa's veterans for the newly built Veteran's Memorial Building in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A fitting tribute to the memory of veterans of the six wars Americans had fought to its date, the window is one of our nation's finest war memorials. With its fifty-eight sections stretching twenty feet wide and twenty-four feet high, it is also one of the largest in the world. Grant Wood's Memorial Masterpiece traces the compelling story of his struggle to produce this breathtaking work and how it led him to develop the unique Regionalist style for which he is recognized around the world.

    I learned about this book from the State Historical Society of Iowa, Iowa City office, which is hosting an event for the author on Saturday, June 7, 2025. I did not grow up in Cedar Rapids or Iowa City, so I didn't know much about Grant Wood until moving here. Of course I knew about American Gothic, but did I know about the "Plaid Sweater" painting at the Stanley, where a young boy poses with his pigskin? I showed that painting to my football-loving son who rolled his eyes at me. This book is all about his stained glass masterpiece, Memorial, at the Veterans Memorial Building in Cedar Rapids. Feller does extensive research on the composition of this work and argues this was the piece that set him on his way to becoming a Regionalist master artist. Local art history fans, check this book out! -Melody
