This painting was Grant Wood's way of getting even with the DAR. I can't remember what the group said or did to earn his wrath, but it pays not to anger an artist. They have ways of getting their revenge!

Hi Ellen! Thanks for sharing that information!! And welcome!
You're right: the artists will get their revenge (oh, it must feel good...for the artist I mean :O)...). Well, i think this images is very charming...but maybe the ladies feel that way!
