[[Image: Grant Wood American Gothic.jpg|left]]
'''American Gothic''' is a painting by American [[artist]] [[Grant Wood]]. The subjects in the painting are a farmer and woman looking gaunt. The man holds a pitchfork and both wear severe expressions. The painting was controversial when it was first exhibited in 1930. The Art Institute of Chicago awarded the painting a prize of $300.
==Controversy==
American Gothic remains one of the most famous paintings in the history of American art. It is a primary example of Regionalism, a movement that aggressively opposed European [[abstract art]], preferring depictions of rural American subjects rendered in a [[representational style]]. The painting has become part of American popular culture, and the couple has been the subject of endless [[parody|parodies]]. Some believe that Wood used this painting to [[satire|satirize]] the narrow-mindedness and repression that has been said to characterize Midwestern culture, an accusation Wood denied. The painting is thought by most to be a glorification of the moral virtue of rural America.
