Famous Painting

I chose American Gothic by Grant Wood as the most interesting of the famous because i love the personality that the painting has and the the portraits that are displayed. The composition is also very interesting because it uses depth of field, and also the color and tone change linked to the depth. The background behind the painting being very light and happy with a brighth blue sky. And then there are the two subjects in front are wearing very dark colors and harsh expressions. I love the contrast of the composition an think its makes the painting more interesting than the rest. The painting was made in 1930 and was modeled after Northern Renaissance art.
