This is the movement with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Wood">Grant Wood</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Steuart_Curry">John Steuart Curry</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Hart_Benton_(painter)">Thomas Hart Benton</a>. Is there a historically significant story about how the movement came to be? I recall that it was not a term that any of the artists coined themselves, but I am not recalling specifically who did. A gallery? A critic? A magazine? A newspaper? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.139946 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 10:31:05 -0800 art grantwood johnsteuartcurry regionalism thomashartbenton tnygard http://ask.metafilter.com/5494/On%2DAccident My teacher noticed that I say "on accident" when I mean "accidentally". Apparently everyone else in class says, "by accident". Is "on accident" a regionalism? An error? Should I be deeply paranoid about it? [More inside] Googling brought up some pages that claim this is an error, and some that claim it's a regionalism. Now I'm curious - does anybody else say this? Anyone from an area where many people say it? I never even noticed it before, and now I can't stop thinking about it. English particles... everywhere... out to get me! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.5494 Fri, 27 Feb 2004 00:41:31 -0800 regionalism vorfeed
