The artwork I have chosen is titled, “American Gothic”, by Grant Wood, painted in 1930. Grant Wood painted on a 74.3 X 62.2 cm piece of oil on beaverboard. These materials give the painting an old timing look but with good color and contrast. This painting can be viewed at the Art Institute of Chicago. Now I’m going to describe this painting in more detail, so that you can see a visual picture in your head. The white male in the artwork has very thin brown hair; with thick bushy eyebrows; brown eyes, circle glasses, big ears, long thin nose; thin lips and a square chin. The man is wearing a white button up shirt with vertical rows of three green lines put together. On top of that are a pair of light blue dirty overalls, and a big black dress
