About American Gothic

American Gothic is a famous painting by Grant Wood, an American painter. The painting, painted in 1930, is listed as one of the most recognizable painters in the 20th century. Also, the work depicted the rural life in the mid west of America.

Outside the world of painting, American Gothic became a part of American popular culture. And so, people have been dressing as a farmer and his sister (other interpretation says wife) as a costume, and parodying the painting’s concept in many occasions.
