I was captivated with his work when I lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he had his studio. American Gothic is often spoofed, but I think this might be my favorite rendition. More about American Gothic is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Gothic. Caitlin, American Gothic is a famous painting by artist Grant Wood.

They'd love this statue!
