In a 1930 visit, Iowa artist Grant Wood sketched this house which he later used in the background for one of the most famous American paintings of all times, the American Gothic masterpiece featured above. This painting has probably been copied and spoofed more times than any other painting (with the possible exception of the Mona Lisa).
