I’ve never seen the actual painting, which hangs at the Art Institute of Chicago, but I HAVE been to the ‘American Gothic’ house – which Grant Wood saw, sketched, and later recreated in the painting – located in Eldon, Iowa.

I just saw _American Gothic_ and _Nighthawks_ at the Art Institute of Chicago earlier this week! Very cool to see them again in person (there’s a pretty good Van Gogh exhibition there now, too).

Let’s keep it going!
