American Gothic
is a painting by
Grant Wood
in the collection of the
Art Institute of Chicago
. Inspired by what is now known as the
American Gothic House
, Wood decided to paint the house along with "the kind of people [he] fancied should live in that house." The work, using
Wood's sister
and his dentist as models, has since become one of the most familiar images in 20th-century
American art
.
