Looks like posters are not available to home schoolers, individually.
I’ve looked for a poster of this painting for years to no avail…is there any source for someone to purchase this poster?
Sorry I don’t know of a source. If you haven’t already, you might try the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art (319-366-7503). I know they have some Grant Wood posters.
I have a print available that was part of my parents estate. please email if interested with bid. VC
