Grant Wood 1891-1942
Grant Wood - American Gothic (1930)
huile - 78 x 65 cm
Wood's strange painting of a solemn Iowa farmer with pitchfork and his wistful wife.
American Gothic is the sort of painting on which everyone has a different opinion. Is it a celebration of working traditions and values of the mid-west? Is it romantically nostalgic to a time that has gone forever? Or is the artist sending these people up; does he resent them?
