Everyone knows her face but few ever knew her name. The stoic-faced woman in Grant Wood's American Gothic was his sister Nan, perhaps one of his closet friends and observers. In My Brother, Grant Wood, Nan Wood Graham offers us an intimate glimpse of the artist in a full-life biography. Her portrait of her brother is as direct and poignant as the portrait he painted of her. Through her anecdotes and reminiscences, Graham not only revives the vivid personality of her brother, she also conjures an era when eastern Iowa was the center of an exciting new movement of art, known as regionalism. --- from book's back cover
