In this drawing, Patrick DesJarlait depicts a Native American man and woman drying corn. The two figures are placed in the center of the drawing, with the man standing over the kneeling woman. The woman's gaze is cast downwards, towards the string of bare corncobs she holds in her hands. Her black hair is parted down the middle and she wears a yellow shirt and brown pants. The man, who is dressed in a white shirt and blue pants, leans his head to the right while holding a basket filled with corn cobs with his left arm. Directly behind the two, three strings of corncobs are tied to a branch of wood that is placed atop two vertical wooden polls. In the distance, a traditional birchbark house sits near the right edge of the drawing, while a lake, fern trees, and clear blue sky fill the background.

Grant Wood was one of the most famous artists in America during the years of the Great Depression. He catapulted to success with the debut of his instantly recognizable <em>American Gothic</em> (1930), becoming the chief proponent of regionalism, which shunned European influences and embraced the local scene. <em>Iowa Landscape—“The Crik”</em> was made for Eleanor Jessup, whose husband was the University of Iowa president responsible for Wood’s appointment to its faculty in 1934. In response to Wood’s death from pancreatic cancer in 1942, Jessup described the painting in a letter to a friend: “And did you know that I have one of his lovely landscapes? He painted it especially for me when we were leaving. He said, not wanting to remind me of the Iowa dust storms, he looked for a green creek bed to paint, so he called it 'The Crik' in the middle-western manner. My good fortune in having it seems unbelievable.”

Description
describe the object
This rural landscape by Grant Wood is likely a depiction of Indian Creek in Iowa, a setting Wood illustrated several times in his career. In the foreground, surrounded by steeply cut banks, a shallow creek zigzags towards the center of the work while a farmer plows his field in the background. The majority of the painting features tufts of golden grass save for the green flora in the creek and the few solitary trees in the background.

Thomas Hart Benton was the leader of American Scene painting, a regionalist aesthetic that reflected a strong connection to the land during the hardships of the 1930s and 1940s. Painted at the end of World War II, <em>Shocking Corn</em> celebrates the dedicated work of American farmers as they toiled and sweated in fields of the Midwest. It depicts two men “shocking” corn, which means to form upright piles of corn stalks for drying. Through repetitive forms and integrated, painted gestures, Benton embeds the farmers within the landscape, begging the question: Are the men working the land, or is the land perfectly capable of cultivating itself?

Description
describe the object
Thomas Hart Benton's painting of a rural American landscape shows two farmers working in the field forming high upright piles of corn stalks. He juxtaposes his farmers, who wear red and white shirts and blue and black pants, with the golden figural corn stalks in the foreground. The painting is made up of prominent brushstrokes that form a series of undulating curved forms, each echoing the others’ shape. For example, the hills in the background mirror the shape of the clouds.

Patrick DesJarlait is one of Minnesota’s most original artists/illustrators. Between 1942 and 1972, he created a small but powerful body of tightly designed images that focus on the people, seasonal activities, and traditions of the Ojibwe people in his home of Red Lake, Minnesota. <em>Red Lake Fishermen</em> depicts two men in a boat, surrounded by the stylized waves of the lake. Exhibited in one of the artist’s first solo shows in 1946 at the Saint Paul Gallery and School of Art (now the Minnesota Museum of American Art), <em>Red Lake Fisherman</em> established DesJarlait as an important artist who could address both modernist visual styles and the traditional world of his people. He re-dated this drawing in 1961 upon entering it in a competitive exhibition in Scottsdale, AZ, where it was awarded first prize.

<em>Red Lake Fishermen</em>
Description
describe the object
Patrick DesJarlait's drawing of two Native American fishermen depicts a popular seasonal activity practiced by the Ojibwe people. The fishermen, placed in the center of the watercolor, are the main focus of the work. They are geometrically configured, both wearing fedoras, button down shirts, working gloves, aprons, and rubber boots. Behind the figures and their boat are wavy blue shapes representing water. In the forefront, the man on the left has caught several fish in his nets while his companion on the right steers the boat with a paddle in his right hand. Behind this man in the blue shirt is a white flag.

<em>The Tillers</em> shows Czech-American farmers in Hopkins, MN (a suburb of Minneapolis), preparing a plot of land for growing raspberries. It is a major early work of Cameron Booth, who played a significant role in the history of art in Minnesota during the 20th century. A committed modernist, Booth was enthralled by the formal aspects of art—the way the composition meanders through space, line, and color, and the punctuating rhythm of natural and human elements. The applications of paint give the sky and land an almost pulsating quality, while the figures have a weight and solidity all their own. Booth became an important force in Minnesota, first as a teacher and then as director at the Saint Paul Gallery and School of Art (now the Minnesota Museum of American Art) from 1929 to 1942.
