Did you know that the man depicted in this famous portrait, entitled American Gothic, was actually the artist's dentist?
The artist, Grant Wood, loved the contrast between the European style window on the American barn and wanted to paint an American looking farmer and his daughter in front of the barn. He chose his family dentist for the farmer and his own sister for the daughter. Most people have seen this painting and did not even realize what they were looking at!
