In Grant Wood's painting, American Gothic, what is the man holding in his hand?
Correct answer: Pitchfork

The man in the painting was Wood's dentist and the woman, his sister. I am from Cedar Rapids, Iowa where wood had a studio and not far from the Anerican Gothic house that is still standing.

Pamula 1960, it's a very famous painting. I guarantee you've seen it before and just didn't know its name.

the old man and woman in the painting look familiar think they were friends of my folks. but when I was young older people all pretty much looked that way at least in the Midwest where I was raised...lol

One of my favorite paintings. Framed a poster of it promoting a 1984 exhibit of Wood's works at AIC (Chicago).

RottieMom - the beautiful stained glass gothic window from the actual house in this painting, is now inside a home in Guntersville, AL. My husband is the man that hauled it and installed it!!
