Many people know Grant Wood only for a single iconic painting, but a museum visit paints a different picture

Built by artist Grant Wood and his middle school students; misbehaving students sat on it while waiting for discipline
A version of the famous painting by Iowa-born Grant Wood is a welcoming(?) sight at the restrooms in Cedar Rapids
