As far as American art goes, few paintings are as iconic as Grant Wood’s American Gothic. Fun fact: the couple depicted in the painting were modeled after Wood’s sister and dentist, pictured above posing next to the finished artwork.

A boy left his bike chained to a tree when he went away to war in 1914. He never returned, leaving the tree no choice but to grow around the bike.

Andres Bedoya “Ultra Madre” [Video]
In 2009 Andres Bedoya organized a haunting performance installation “Ultra Madre,” in which 57 women lay still on the scaffolding of the main arch of the Museo Nacional de Arte in La Paz, Bolivia. For one hour the women did not move, their long, black hair cascading down the 15-foot structure. The jarring image of the soft hair against the rigid architecture stirred a quiet but lasting sense of unease.
Installation and Performance - mixed media, approx. 8’ w x 15’ h x 5’ d, National Museum of Art, La Paz, Bolivia, 2009.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m29gc9MMFi1r6q94do1_500.jpg)
