January - GRANT WOOD

Medium: lithograph

GRANT WOOD
American, (1891-1942)

Lithograph, 1938, Johnson 3, Cole 3; edition 250. 9 x 11 7/8 in. Signed in pencil. This is a fine impresssion printed on RIVES watermarked paper. The margins are full and the condition is fine apart from a soft, subtle dent in the left margin which shows as a shadow and below that is a tiny spot. The lower left corner of the sheet has a wrinkle, well away from the image. This memorable winter image was done in Iowa and there's at least one related drawing and oil painting. (The painting is located in the Cleveland Museum of Art.) "January" is one of six Grant Wood prints reproduced in Thomas Craven's 1939 book, A Treasury of American Prints. This was a very popular print when it was published in the spring of 1938. In the fall 1938 AAA catalogue, "January" was already sold out. (See Johnson, pg. 61).      SOLD
