The artwork entitled “March,” created by Grant Wood in 1939, is a significant piece within the Regionalism art movement, portraying a landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a meticulously rendered rural scene, characterized by a winding road extending into the hilly terrain, flanked by undulating fields and sparse fencing. At the crest of a hill, a small, isolated house with a steeply pitched roof stands, accompanied by a solitary, windswept tree. The pencil rendering employs a variety of textures and shading techniques to convey the rugged surface of the road and the gentle slopes of the surrounding hills. The composition evokes a sense of solitude and the stark beauty of the American Midwest, encapsulating the essence of the Regionalist movement’s focus on the depiction of rural American scenes.
