“Farm View” is an artwork created by Grant Wood in 1932, situated within the Regionalism art movement and classified under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a tranquil farm scene, characterized by carefully contoured fields and structures typical of rural America. Dominated by a central barn with distinct geometric shapes and a nearby farmhouse, the composition exudes a sense of order and simplicity. Curving roads lead the eye through the landscape, accentuating the gently rolling terrain. The layout and stylized elements exemplify Regionalism’s emphasis on the rural Midwest and the celebration of local settings, capturing the essence of agricultural life in the early 20th century. The scene is bathed in earthy tones, with meticulous attention to form and perspective, reflecting Wood’s distinctive approach to landscape painting.
