Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category American Artists) for Monday, October 2, 2017 (Season 34, Episode 16):
This artist from Iowa once said, “All the really good ideas I’d ever had came to me while I was milking a cow”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Bonnie Leih, an administrative assistant from Plumas Lake, California
Veryl Gambino, a prosecutor from Berwyn, Illinois
Austin Rogers, a bartender from New York, New York (4-day total: $123,100)
Grant Wood, most famous for “American Gothic”, came to this realization after spending a couple of years in Paris. He had remarked in 1936:
…I came back because I learned that French painting is very fine for the French people and not necessarily for us, and because I started out to analyze what it was I really knew. I found it. It’s Iowa, … I realized that all the really good ideas I’d ever had came to me while I was milking a cow. So I went back to Iowa.
