Barnyard Gothic - After Grant Wood Print

This piece is part of an exhibition, Getting Under the Skin, currently showing at the Westminster Arts Reference Library situated in London’s West End just behind the National Gallery. The show features 10 famous works of art reimagined by Field and Young as taxidermy tableaux to reflect the Library’s vast art and design collection. Grant Wood’s “American Gothic” from 1930 depicts an Iowa farmer and his daughter, the picture deriving its name from the style of the house in the background. Wood entered the painting into a competition at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it won third prize. It is now considered one of the most iconic images of 20th Century Americana. Field & Young’s reimagining features a hen and cockerel (unrelated as far as we are aware) from a farm in Dorset. The feathered farmer holds a weeding fork and the couple’s outfits are repurposed vintage children’s clothing. The backdrop of the Gothic house is painted in acrylic on water-resistant hardboard.
