Grant Wood Self-portrait

What is Grant Wood most famous for?

Grant painted his most famous work, "American Gothic," in which he applied his style of being meticulous and detailed to the decorative adventures of his native surroundings.

How Grant Wood got his fame: With "American Gothic," Grant Wood tells the story of Midwestern life and culture through the use of many traditional symbols: the rick-rack on the woman's apron, the gothic window, the pitchfork held in the tight fist of the somber farmer. At the annual juried exhibition in Chicago, the piece won the Art Institute's $300 purchase prize. And it propelled the artist's career from local to national recognition.

American Gothic Oil on beaverboard, 1930; 74.3 x 62.4 cm Friends of American Art Collection, Grant Wood adopted the precise realism of 15th-century northern European artists, but his native Iowa provided the artist with his subject matter. American Gothic depicts a farmer and his spinster daughter posing before their house, whose gabled window and tracery, in the American gothic style, inspired the painting's title. In fact, the models were the painter's sister and their dentist. Wood was accused of creating in this work a satire on the intolerance and rigidity that the insular nature of rural life can produce; he denied the accusation. American Gothic is an image that epitomizes the Puritan ethic and virtues that he believed dignified the Midwestern character.

Why is it parodied? The painting, which glorified and satirized rural Americans, remains in the running for the most parodied work of art. The model for the farmer's wife in the picture was Grant's sister, Nan Wood Graham. Her face competes with Whistler's mother and the sitter for the Mona Lisa as the most well-known female subjects in a painting.
