"American Gothic" is a painting by Grant Wood, created in 1930. It is considered one of Wood's most famous and iconic works and is one of the most recognizable images in 20th-century American art.

The painting depicts a farmer standing beside his daughter in front of a Gothic-style house. The farmer holds a pitchfork, while the daughter stands beside him with a somber expression on her face. The painting is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a cloudy sky, creating a sense of isolation and timelessness.

"American Gothic" is widely regarded as a commentary on rural life in the Midwest region of the United States. The Gothic-style house in the painting is based on a real house in Eldon, Iowa, and the figures in the painting are said to represent the values and traditions of rural America. The painting's title, "American Gothic," is a nod to the Gothic architectural style of the house, as well as a reference to the Gothic literary tradition, which often explores themes of isolation, death, and the supernatural.

"American Gothic" has been interpreted in many different ways over the years, and it continues to inspire discussions and debates about its meaning and significance. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most famous and beloved images of 20th-century American art, and it is widely recognized as one of Grant Wood's greatest masterpieces.
