...Midwest museums, colleges and universities and private collectors. The Des Moines show proves that Midwestern collectors do not stick exclusively to such safe 19th century American classics as George Caleb Bingham, George Inness and Thomas Eakins, and the Midwest's Big Three, Grant Wood, Thomas Benton and John Steuart Curry. They are also willing to bet their money on modern European masters-Braque, Matisse, Henry Moore and Giacometti-and the still-debated U.S. Painters Max Weber and the late Yasuo Kuniyoshi (opposite...

By dint of great effort he outgrew that kind of work, although he never quite shook the slavishness to subject matter that is its mark. But Curry did have the boldness to conceive a Cineramic view of the land he loved. At the height of his fame, he called Wisconsin Landscape "my greatest." Grant Wood, like Benton, sowed some Midwestern oats in Paris. There he sported shocking pink whiskers and a Basque beret, painted hazy, impressionistic canvases. Back home in his native Iowa, he mainly taught art for a living...
