Parson Weems' Fable

The Canvas

Parsom Weem’s Fable is part of American mythology. Grant Wood paints Parsom Weem’s Fable, acknowledging the fact that it’s a myth, but also points out that this mythology isn’t as pure as it tries to paint itself to be. Parson Weem’s Fable tries to show a sinless George Washington, a pure Washington, while you see the same George Washington owning slaves.
