    I always love a good parody - and these certainly are! Thanks for sharing. :)

    Very interesting. I always wondered about the people in the painting. Thanks for digging up that information. Great lens!

    An amazing painting, and great to see that it is still causing people to think. All of these parodies show that people are engaging with a classic art work. Great lens by the way.

    Funny how this painting haunts us! I always thought it was odd; obviously it strikes many people this way!

    I love it!!

    Anybody know where to get American Gothic Bobbleheads?
  • Rewards4life Feb 8, 2011 @ 1:59 pm | delete
    Fantastic lens, such a iconic image. I can't believe the amount of times it has been parodied, there are some ones here which I have not seen before, very funny. I'm glad you have given some links about the history, it's one of those pictures I have seen many times and never really read up about it. Thank you

    Very clever and fun. * blessed*

    My favorite one is the vintage gothic cats brooch. I used to work for Grant Wood Area Education Agency in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Great spoof lens.
  • Jodi Oct 2, 2010 @ 5:11 pm | delete
    Thought your site might have pictures of the sculptures around Cedar Rapids back in 2001. I have some of them, but looking for additional photos and how many there were.

    Cool lens. I have seen only a couple of the spoof (I counted 5 I was familiar with)..all the others you listed were new to me.

    Such an iconic painting...I must admit I'd always assumed the couple were married!! Blessed by a SquidAngel :)

    An interesting theme. I never dreamed all these parodies existed based on this famous painting.

    Missing 'Canadian Gothic', from an old Molson Canadian advert. The Lady was in a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and the Man in a Montreal Canadians jersey, holding a hockey stick instead of a pitchfork.
