Opinion on American Gothic Painting

I have seen this image, but dont hunch over the tittle. I have seen it in movies, cartoons, and parodies of the mental picture. The characterisation is a male and female who most handlely live on farmland. The male is holding a pitchfork, both of them look very serious but looking in different directions. They may either be just session for the painting or waiting for intruders to leave their property. The male and female look daunted with something, they are not happy. They are wearing old-fashioned clothes, very conventional American clothes. They look healthy but the male looks older than the female, maybe her father or an older husband at the time.They look like typical suburban American people at the time. The top of their contribute looks a little like a church but they are definitely farmers. The painting represents the typical American family/folk in a certain time period and area. The painting is famous because its the honesty of suburban American life at that ti me, and this may be controversial. No one likes to hear/see the truth. I did not know the parent of the painting so I googled, famous American paintings. It was the first scene that came up, so I clicked on it and found out the artist and the paintings call.I googled the name of the painting and got many websites that have real(a) on it. The artists name is Grant Wood essential of Chicago. The painting is of a farmer and his daughter posing in posing in front of their house, whose window and tracery had an American gothic style, which inspired the name of the painting, American Gothic. The models were the artists sister and dentist. Wood was accuse of creating in this work a satire on the intolerance and strictness that the limited nature of rural life can produce. He sell this painting to the Art institute in November of 1930.
