The Story
Poster developed from Grant Wood’s American Gothic, 1930, from The Art Institute of Chicago’s collection.
American Gothic, often understood as a satirical comment on the Midwestern character, quickly became one of America’s most famous paintings and is now firmly entrenched in the nation’s popular culture. Yet Wood intended it to be a positive statement about rural American values, an image of reassurance at a time of great dislocation and disillusionment. The man and woman, in their solid and well-crafted world, with all their strengths and weaknesses, represent survivors.
- Dimensions: 34 x 26 in.
- Material: Premium Cardstock.
Additional Shipping $15 per Order.
