American Gothic, 1930

Grant Wood

Oil paint, beaverboard · 78 x 65.3 cm

A farmer and his daughter stand stony-faced before a sharp gothic window.

A stern farmer grips his pitchfork beside a woman before their white farmhouse — Grant Wood's 1930 image of Midwestern resolve. Endlessly parodied yet oddly moving, it has become one of the most famous and instantly recognised of all American paintings.
