No, the copyright covers "derived works" (such as alterations) also.

You might be able to get away with a parody. For example, if you wanted to advertise your new movie "Farm!" with the American Gothic portrait, you could probably dress your stars up in somber clothing, have the male lead hold a pitchfork, and take a picture of them in front of a Victorian-style house, and that would be okay. You should contact a lawyer first though.
