But then I thought about it, I would be angry too if I had to stand in front of some pretenious artist bastard who wanted me in front of that building. Is that a church or a house or what? I want to cut that painting with a knife, just like the Joker Gang did in Batman.

I immediately thought "Grant Wood" when I saw the thread title, b/c it's so overexposed here in the midwest (Iowa especially, him being from here).
However - what you just ranted against is also essentially the point of the painting, so at least it's effective artistically . . .
