At Minh Anh Art Gallery, we take pride in presenting timeless masterpieces that transcend generations. One such classic is "American Gothic by Grant Wood", an artwork that has captivated art lovers and critics alike for nearly a century. This iconic painting isn't just a visual treat—it’s a cultural symbol of the American Midwest and a powerful piece of storytelling on canvas.
Painted in 1930, American Gothic portrays a stern farmer and his daughter standing in front of a modest wooden house with a distinct Gothic window. The piece was inspired by a real house in Eldon, Iowa, and features Wood's sister and his dentist as the models. But the deeper appeal of the painting lies in its narrative ambiguity—viewers are left to interpret the relationship, emotions, and symbolism behind the stoic expressions and rural backdrop.
Grant Wood was a leading figure in the American Regionalism movement, which focused on realistic scenes of rural and small-town America during the Great Depression. Unlike the abstract trends of European modernism, Wood grounded his work in real American values, identity, and landscapes.
Medium: Oil on Beaverboard
Dimensions: 78 cm × 65.3 cm

What makes this painting stand out is its meticulous detail, clean lines, and almost surreal stillness, which creates a lasting impact. The pitchfork held by the man mirrors the stitching of his overalls and even the pattern on the curtains inside the house—hinting at the themes of structure, order, and tradition.
"American Gothic" has become an enduring cultural reference in advertising, satire, and pop culture. It’s often reimagined, parodied, and analyzed in various contexts. Why? Because it captures something universal—our perceptions of hard work, morality, and community. Whether you see resilience or rigidity, familiarity or discomfort, the painting sparks conversation.
