The most famous painting is in Chicago, with Grant Wood's American Gothic and Edward Hopper's Nighthawks.

I have seen it several times.

Particularly because, although there are smaller "study" versions as he worked up to it, the painting itself is 10 feet wide and most references don't include that context (at least not visually, they often list the numbers.)

Went to this exhibition in London two weeks ago and can highly recommend!
