The artwork, “Vegetables” by Grant Wood, created in 1939 in the United States, is a lithograph that falls under the Regionalism art movement. It is a still life piece, meticulously illustrating a variety of vegetables in a bowl.
In the artwork, a white bowl with a blue rim is centrally placed, brimming with an assortment of vegetables. The contents include carrots, cauliflower, bell peppers, peas, onions, and corn, depicted with rich and earthy tones. The bowl sits on a table, and a wooden cutting board is visible underneath. The carefully arranged vegetables reflect an appreciation for rural life and agriculture, elements often celebrated in Regionalist art. The use of lithography, a popular medium in the 20th century, allows for detailed and precise rendering of the forms and textures of the produce, giving the entire composition a realistic yet artistically stylized appearance.
