Wheaton College (MA) art history professor R. Tripp Evans has written a remarkable biography of one of this country's iconic artists with his brilliant new book, Grant Wood: A Biography (Knopf). "This audacious, ingenious and powerful book blows the lid off the study of Grant Wood, the creator of America's best-known work of art, aptly titled American Gothic. Evans frankly acknowledges Wood's homosexuality, which earlier biographers avoided entirely, and mines layer upon layer of meaning in his fascinating paintings that earlier writers completely missed. This is certainly one of the best and most psychologically penetrating studies ever done on an American artist, but it is more than that. It is a book that transforms our understanding of what goes on in the American heartland—and of the swirling currents and undercurrents of American life." - Henry Adams. R. Tripp Evans is also the author of Romancing the Maya.
