In 1930, artist Grant Wood put the finishing touches on "American Gothic," a now-famous painting showing a pitchfork-wielding farmer and a younger lass.

Whenever I visit the Art Institute of Chicago, I always make a beeline to see American Gothic. It is spellbinding. So no surprise that it is still in the public's imagination and keeps being reinterpreted or parodied. Sort of like the mona lisa…
