Grand Wood painted American Gothic in 1930.  It depicts life in Iowa during the Great Depression.  Many artists since have parodied his work.  For example, the Big Mac from McDonald's in the bottom artwork.  Can you guess in real life who the two people where who modeled for American Gothic?  How did Grant Wood know them?
