realistic and hard-edged painting style associated with American painter Grant Wood; famous painting by Grant Wood
American Gothic is a
painting by Grant Wood from
1930. Portraying a
pitchfork-holding farmer and his daughter (though often mistaken to be his wife) in front of a house of
Carpenter Gothic style, it is one of the most familiar images in 20th century
American art. Wood wanted to depict the traditional roles of men and women as the man is holding a pitchfork symbolizing hand labor. Wood referenced late 19th century photography and posed his sitters in a manner reminiscent of early American portraiture.
