Soon a complex of currents spread over the surface of the bowl; in some places there are tangled knots of dye, while in others, such as up the Atlantic Coast, the broad smooth flow of the Gulf Stream appears.

Wood's American Gothic -a head-on portrayal of a sour, bald farmer with a pitchfork and his tight-lipped wife -became an icon for Paint America Firsters...
