Grant Wood work on walk
Oh, for the good old days. Grant Wood must have longed for them in 1940 when he created Family Doctor, the lithograph shown here and on view at the Tampa Museum of Art. The work was made at a time when European modernism was threatening American regionalism, of which Wood was a leading proponent. Wood is best known for American Gothic, the classic painting of a farmer with an upright pitchfork and his daughter. The lithograph and about 30 other graphics are part of the Sybiel B. Berkman Foundation, a recent gift to the museum, on display through July 22. You can see it tonight during the Tampa Gallery Association's monthly walk, 5 to 8 p.m. Obtain a list of locations at the museum, Nuance (720 S Dale Mabry Highway) or at any of the 10 other participating galleries. The event is free. Information: (813) 875-0511.
