Painting Description
"Daughters of the Revolution" is a painting by American artist Grant Wood, created in 1932. Known for his depictions of the rural American Midwest, Wood gained fame with his iconic work "American Gothic" in 1930. "Daughters of the Revolution" stands as a satirical commentary on the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), an organization composed of women who are direct descendants of those involved in the United States' struggle for independence.
The painting features three elderly women, portrayed in a somewhat caricatured manner, standing before a depiction of Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, a quintessential image of American patriotism. Wood's work is a critique of the DAR's conservative values and their emphasis on lineage and heritage, suggesting a contrast between the organization's ideals and the revolutionary spirit of their ancestors. The women's expressions and outdated fashion serve to underscore the painting's satirical tone.
"Daughters of the Revolution" is executed in Wood's Regionalist style, which was part of a larger movement that sought to represent the American rural experience and was a response to the urban-focused European modernism of the time. The painting's precise detail and smooth finish reflect Wood's meticulous technique, which draws from Northern Renaissance art as well as from 19th-century American folk art.
This work is significant in the context of American art history for its social commentary and its role in the Regionalist movement. It is held in the collection of the Cincinnati Art Museum, where it continues to be an important piece for discussions of American identity, nationalism, and the role of art in social critique.
