Journal - Grant Wood - American Gothic - Museum Kidz

Stylized Americana at its best! This quaint journal showcasing an adorable interpretation of Grant Wood’s famous American Gothic is just the thing to organize your day-to-day. About American Gothic American Gothic is a caricature of 19th century Americana, notably in the Midwest. Many interpret the painting to be a satire or criticism of rural American life, however, Grant Wood simply drew inspiration from a cottage designed in the Gothic Revival style, providing both the background and the title for the work. From there, Wood drew who he thought would live in that house, with figures modeled after his sister and dentist. Contrary to popular belief, American Gothic portrays a farmer and his daughter, not a husband and wife.
