For several decades, Robert W. Wood (1889-1979) was America's most popular landscape painter. He was incredibly prolific, quite possibly the most productive landscape painter in the history of American art.

Wood was also widely reproduced, and hundreds of his paintings were published. In the era before today's "limited edition" market, these reproductions were inexpensive and not limited in quantity.

Wood's reproductions were so popular that more than one million copies were sold of October Moon alone, his most famous image. His reproductions were available in different sizes and could be purchased through catalogs, art supply stores, frame shops, and even Blue Chip and S & H Green Stamp catalogs.

Following this brief introduction will be a series of galleries devoted to an examination of Robert W. Wood's vast variety of subjects, illustrated by representative examples of his work, most of which are now in private collections throughout the United States. These images come from our extensive archive on Robert Wood and most of them are works that have passed through our hands over the past several decades.
