The Painting: Daughters of Revolution
Daughters of Revolution(1932) is a painting by Grant Wood, measuring 101 x 50 cm and created using oil on masonite. This artwork represents one of the few satirical pieces in his career.
Style and Description
The Regionalism style is characterized by its focus on rural life, traditional values, and American identity. In this painting, Wood portrays three members of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in a critical yet humorous manner. The women are dressed in formal attire while seated next to an idealized portrait of George Washington. The juxtaposition between these women and the mythic painting of George Washington highlights Wood's satirical intent, as he challenges the DAR members' claims of direct descent from Revolutionary War heroes. Critics have noted that this work is a commentary on the disconnect between historical narratives and contemporary society.
