Grant Wood (1891-1942)
In the Spring (1939)
The lithograph published by Associated American Artists in an edition of 250 prints is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right.

An image of pure Regionalism, the farmer setting fence posts appears satisfied to have reached the end of one long run and now heading diagonally, setting a new post in rolling landscape just like that around Stone City, Iowa.
Image measures 9 x 11.75 with a framed size of 16.25 x 19.25 inches.
Very, very good condition, the full untrimmed sheet with four deckle edges, not laid down, no damage, stain, punctures, tears or repair; framed to archival standards in acid free mounts.
Provenance: Private collection, Des Moines, Iowa.
$2,000 - $2,500
