This is too cool. After suffering through a lifetime of parodies and re-creations, I come across a picture of the original models (Grant Wood’s sister and his dentist) for “American Gothic.” Yowser. Visit kottke.org and see a picture of the house that appears in the background as well.
If I’d have been there the day this picture was taken, I would have looked at his sister and said, “I like what you’ve done with your hair.”
