 几乎没有画作能像格兰特·伍德的《美国哥特式》一样如此具有象征性。这幅作品的形式风格已经深深的烙进了美国文化，甚至一眼都能认出它的拙劣仿作或致敬作品。 几乎没有画作能像格兰特·伍德的《美国哥特式》一样如此具有象征性。这幅作品的形式风格已经深深的烙进了美国文化，甚至一眼都能认出它的拙劣仿作或致敬作品。

-American Gothic was exhibited publicly for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago, winning a three-hundred-dollar prize and instant fame for Grant Wood. The <span hi>impetus</span> for the painting came while Wood was visiting the small town of Eldon in his native Iowa. There he spotted a little wood farmhouse, with a single oversized window, made in a style called Carpenter Gothic. “I imagined American Gothic people with their faces stretched out long to go with this American Gothic house,” he said. He used his sister and his dentist as models for a farmer and his daughter, dressing them as if they were “<span hi>tintypes</span> from my old family album.” The highly detailed, polished style and the <span hi>rigid</span> <span hi>frontality</span> of the two figures were inspired by Flemish Renaissance art, which Wood studied during his travels to Europe between 1920 and 1928. After returning to settle in Iowa, he became increasingly appreciative of midwestern traditions and culture, which he celebrated in works such as this. American Gothic, often understood as a <span hi>satirical</span> comment on the midwestern character, quickly became one of America’s most famous paintings and is now firmly entrenched in the nation’s popular culture. Yet Wood intended it to be a positive statement about rural American values, an image of reassurance at a time of great <span hi>dislocation</span> and <span hi>disillusionment</span>. The man and woman, in their solid and well-crafted world, with all their strengths and weaknesses, represent survivors. ((//American Gothic//. The Art Institute of Chicago.

 《美国哥特式》初次在芝加哥艺术博物馆公开展示，就为它的作者格兰特·伍德赢得了三百美元的大奖，并使他一夜成名。作品的创作灵感来源于伍德游览他家乡爱荷华州的一个叫埃尔登的小镇时，发现的一栋木制小农舍。这栋小农舍有一扇超大的、风格叫作“木匠哥特式”的窗户。伍德说：“我想象出把脸拉得很长的美国哥特人的形象，用来匹配这栋建筑”。他让他的妹妹和牙医扮演一个农夫和他的女儿，把他们打扮得像是“我家旧相册里锡纸相片中的人物”。这两个人物极其细致、光洁的风格与刚毅的正面形象，灵感来自于弗兰芒文艺复兴时期的艺术，伍德在1920年至1928年间的欧洲旅行中学习了这些艺术。回到爱荷华后，他越来越欣赏美国中西部的传统和文化，他在像《美国哥特式》这样的作品中赞美了这些文化。《美国式哥特》这一作品，通常被理解为是对中西部特征的讽刺，并迅速成为美国最为家喻户晓的画作之一。现在这幅画已经嵌入了美国根深蒂固的通俗文化。然而，伍德的本意是让其展示美国农村价值观的积极形象，一个在幻灭和混乱的年代中令人安心的作品。（编者注：时值美国20世纪初大萧条时期。）这对男女代表幸存者，在坚固的、精心打造的世界里，有着他们所有的优缺点。 《美国哥特式》初次在芝加哥艺术博物馆公开展示，就为它的作者格兰特·伍德赢得了三百美元的大奖，并使他一夜成名。作品的创作灵感来源于伍德游览他家乡爱荷华州的一个叫埃尔登的小镇时，发现的一栋木制小农舍。这栋小农舍有一扇超大的、风格叫作“木匠哥特式”的窗户。伍德说：“我想象出把脸拉得很长的美国哥特人的形象，用来匹配这栋建筑”。他让他的妹妹和牙医扮演一个农夫和他的女儿，把他们打扮得像是“我家旧相册里锡纸相片中的人物”。这两个人物极其细致、光洁的风格与刚毅的正面形象，灵感来自于弗兰芒文艺复兴时期的艺术，伍德在1920年至1928年间的欧洲旅行中学习了这些艺术。回到爱荷华后，他越来越欣赏美国中西部的传统和文化，他在像《美国哥特式》这样的作品中赞美了这些文化。《美国式哥特》这一作品，通常被理解为是对中西部特征的讽刺，并迅速成为美国最为家喻户晓的画作之一。现在这幅画已经嵌入了美国根深蒂固的通俗文化。然而，伍德的本意是让其展示美国农村价值观的积极形象，一个在幻灭和混乱的年代中令人安心的作品。（编者注：时值美国20世纪初大萧条时期。）这对男女代表幸存者，在坚固的、精心打造的世界里，有着他们所有的优缺点。

 +According to Wood the work is in fact intended as an affirmation of its distinctly Midwestern subject matter and implied values, standing apart from those of large American cities and, even more so, European culture.

 +Wood developed his interest in art while still in grammar school and showed promise. He continued to nurture his talents in high school where he designed sets for plays and illustrated student publications. After graduation in 1910, Wood attended the Minneapolis School of Design and Handicraft. Over the next few years, Wood further expanded his creative repertoire by learning to work with metal and jewelry as well as build furniture. When he moved to Chicago in 1913, he used these skills to make a living.
