CANADIAN GOTHIC


American Regionalism flourished after the Great Depression and lasted until the late 1940s. It was a realist modern art movement that focused on rural and small-town life in Mid-West America. One of the more famous paintings from that period was American Gothic painted by Grant Wood in 1930.
I don’t know if Mom was influenced by that painting when taking this photo but the comparison is certainly there. For my brother and me, it was just another day on the farm.
