If you are an Iowan,. don't you have to have "Stone City" hangin' from a wall somewhere....if not "Stone City", then "American Gothic".......nothing belongs in a native Hawkeye home like a Grant Wood or two.....the quintessential Iowa artist......
My favorite Woods are "The Ride of Paul Revere" (history buff here) and "Spring in Town"....I only have 14 of his paintings hanging from my walls.
For music, doesn't it then have to be something from the Iowa connected, "The Music Man"?? The musical, written by Iowa native Meredith Willson and taking place in River City (Mason City) Iowa. Paul McCartney is on record as saying "'Til There Was You" was the greatest love song ever written. In fact a demo tape of this song got the Beatles a recording audition and lead to their first significants recording contract in Great Britain.
