Grant Wood

American Gothic

US$ 618.00

A farmer and his daughter stand rigid before a white farmhouse, a pitchfork held upright between them like a third figure. Wood painted the gothic window first and built the picture around it, using his sister and his dentist as models. Read equally as satire and as sincere tribute to Midwestern rural values, it remains one of the most parodied images in American art.

Artist

Grant Wood (1891-1942) was the leading figure of the American Regionalist movement, which turned away from European modernism to paint the farms and small towns of the Midwest on their own terms. He taught at the University of Iowa and drew heavily on the flat, precise style of early Northern Renaissance painting he had studied in Europe. American Gothic made him famous almost overnight in 1930.
