American Gothic Revisited

Fine Art Print by Antionette Simmons Hodges

A Powerful Reimagining of an American Icon

Transform your space with this striking contemporary interpretation of Grant Wood's iconic "American Gothic." Created in the mid-1990s by celebrated African American artist Antionette Simmons Hodges, "American Gothic Revisited" boldly reclaims and recontextualizes one of America's most recognizable paintings through the lens of the African American experience.

About the Artwork

This compelling acrylic painting presents two African American figures against an urban industrial backdrop, replacing the rural farmhouse of the original with towering buildings and smokestacks. The composition maintains the iconic frontal pose while introducing powerful new symbolism: the cotton fields stretching behind the subjects serve as a poignant reminder of America's complex history, while the figures' dignified presence and direct gaze assert their rightful place in the American narrative.

The woman wears a vibrant yellow top with a distinctive red and white checkered pattern, while the man is dressed in a crisp white collared shirt and cap. Their steady, unwavering expressions convey strength, resilience, and quiet dignity—hallmarks of Hodges' celebrated approach to figurative art.
