Description
Meet the unapologetically stern faces of Daughters of Revolution (1932), painted by Grant Wood—best known for American Gothic. Created in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, this oil on masonite artwork is a satirical masterpiece that quietly roars. Wood critiques the self-righteous pride of the Daughters of the American Revolution by portraying them as stiff, unyielding figures in front of Emanuel Leutze’s famous painting Washington Crossing the Delaware. The irony? Leutze was German-born, much like the porcelain these women likely cherish. Painted in the heartland of America, this work is both biting social commentary and eerily timeless. It invites us to question: Who defines patriotism, and at what cost?
