In 1934, Grant Wood was asked to join the Associated American Artists (AAA)—a new business venture headquartered in New York, whose aim was to sell affordable prints to the masses in department stores and through mail-order catalogues. Wood admired the program’s democratic mission and accepted the invitation. In 1937, he produced his first lithograph, Tree Planting Group, which was priced at five dollars through the AAA. The artist eventually executed nineteen lithographs for the program.
