Grant Wood. American gothic
Description
'1000 Masterpieces from the Great Museums of the World' is one of the most successful TV series about art. The original, with improved image quality, takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of art. Comprehensively illustrated and compellingly presented -- the well-known authors of five short art surveys provide a deeper insight into the masterpieces of painting. The Art Institute of Chicago is a Mecca for art. Founded in 1879, it combines an educational institution with a museum of international standing. Works from five millennia are displayed; however, of particular value are its extensive collections of impressionist paintings and the classics of American art, such as Wood's 'American Gothic', amongst others. Gustave Caillebotte: PARIS STREET SCENE IN THE RAIN (1877) Mary Cassatt: THE BATH (1891-93) Robert Delaunay: EIFFEL TOWER CHAMP DE MARS (1911) Edward Hopper: NIGHTHAWKS (1942) Grant Wood: AMERICAN GOTHIK (1930).
