The Statue of Liberty,Barbie doll,American Gothic,buffalo and nickel,and Uncle Sam are known as the five cultural symbols of the United States.Originally,American Gothic is a 76.2x63.5cm oil painting created by Grant Wood who graduated from Art Institute of Chicago. The painting consists of a house,a farmer and his sister,conveying the author’s deep understanding of Gothic art.However,in the late period,American Gothic gradually became a synonym of a thought,and also represented a group of people with common characteristics.This thesis mainly analyzes the definition,cultural connotation,existence value and derivatives of Gothic culture in The United States.
