    I found this vlog to be so interesting and informative. For example: I never knew the woman in the painting was the artist’s sister and the man, his dentist.
    You continue to amaze me, Jordan at the large variety of topics you choose to vlog and share with us. You make a difference in all our lives.

    Hi Jordan, I liked the sunflower mural that you passed which brightens up a snowy Spring day. How fantastic to see such an iconic house in the world of art. I love the photo of the original models with the painting, how cool is that!! Great vlog Jordan.

    Really loved your tour of the American Gothic house. I’ll make sure my grandchildren watch you video. They’ll be ready for Art Appreciate for sure. You’re too young to know but the curtain pattern is of her apron. Those ladies wore full aprons to protect their clothing as cooking was pretty intense. This was before modern laundry and washing clothes was hard labor therefore the full aprons. My grandmother wore one. They completely covered the front of their dresses.

    I made a parody of it for the guys at Cornerstone Music, a music store in Downtown Clermont, Florida. In the woman’s place is Pete, who works there and also used to give me guitar lessons. In the man’s place is Chris, who works the counter and does all the repairs. Instead of the American Gothic house, it’s the Cornerstone Music, and instead of a pitchfork, it’s a Stratocaster. I think they have the original drawing up on the wall somewhere in Cornerstone Music l, but I’m not sure. I did it all with paper and pencil. I took a photo of it before o gave it to them, though, so I could still laugh at the drawing when I’m not at Cornerstone.

    Other interesting facts is Grants sister and dentist never posed together and only met years later. Also the house was a Sears and Roebuck house that the original owners put a church style window in. The back of the house actually has a similar window as the front only bigger. No one ever shows that. Famous “pie maker to the stars” Beth Howard used to reside in the house before moving to California. Look her up. Pretty interesting she used to live there. Apparently Robert Downey Jr. loved her pies.

    @sandrafatland2843 4 года назад

    Thanks for doing this vlog Jordan. I really enjoyed learning more detail about Grant Wood's "American Gothic." I love hearing the details about the repetition of patterns and fabrics in the painting. I also didn't know the model was the artist's sister. I laughed when you said he elongated her face because she didn't want to be associated as the wife of the man in painting.

  • @MelancoliaI

    The Woman with Plants painting was his mother not sister Nan. Great video and you did a lot of research. Eldon is where Tom Arnold and Roseanne Barr were building their lavish mansion. Never finished and still remains today decaying in a field (on private property).

  • @ryeguyseattle
    @ryeguyseattle 4 года назад

    You're right down the road from my father's hometown of Ottumwa. Also you probably already knew about it, but just east of Eldon is Roseanne's abandoned mansion she was in the process of building when her and Tom Arnold split (Tom is from Ottumwa).

    What a wonderful museum! There is another Grant Wood painting in the Cincinnati Art Museum, the satirical "Daughters of Revolution" which shows three little elderly ladies, one sipping tea, seated in front of the famous picture of Washington crossing the Delaware. They are looking out directly at the viewer. Thanks for the vlog. Eldon was another great place to vlog.

    Hi Jordan, the painting of the older lady is of Grant’s mother, not Nan. I looked it up as I knew Grant died aged 50 and his sister was younger so he wouldn’t have known her as an older lady. But a really interesting vlog 😊
