Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor's Journey August 26, 2017 - August 31, 2018
<p><strong>Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor’s Journey</strong></p><p>August 26, 2017 – August, 2018 </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">Drawing from the CRMA’s deep collection of works by 20<sup>th</sup> century sculptor Malvina Hoffman, this two-gallery exhibition explores her lengthy and varied career as a sculptor of the human form. Hoffman studied with several artists in New York before traveling to Paris in 1910 where she successfully convinced Auguste Rodin to accept her as a student. </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin;mso-ansi-language: EN">During their lessons, he advised her "Do not be afraid of realism.”<sup> </sup></span><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin"> It was from Rodin that Hoffman learned a naturalistic, sometimes rugged approach to the form. From her early bust of her father Richard to her famous commission from the Field Museum to create their “Hall of Man,” <em>Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor’s Journey</em> traces Hoffman’s artistic roots from her teenage creations through apprenticeship with Rodin and into her arrival as an independent and gifted artist.</span></p><p><br></p>

No reservation necessary! </p><p>Our on-going mission at Iowa Humane Alliance is to provide access to affordable high quality spay/neuter services for Eastern Iowa pets and strays. A lesser-known sub-clause in our mission statement is this: to hold awesome and super-delicious fundraising events that cause our supporters to get out of the house and have serious gustatory and vino-culture-ish fun now and then. (Not that you don’t have fun on your own. But not THIS much fun.)</p><p>Accordingly, IHA is ecstatic to announce our upcoming “Spay-ghetti & No Balls” Pasta Dinner and Wine Pull at Zio Johno’s Spaghetti House in Marion on Tuesday, Spetember 26th.<span> </span></p><p>Now, a “Wine Pull” is nothing like a Tractor Pull, no matter what you’ve heard. A Wine Pull is a de<span>al where you get to take home a special bottle of wine, and possibly a super-deluxe-bottle of wine, when you take part in this “everyone wins!” event. How can everyone win? Because everyone who plays, gets wine! So that’s a win in our book. Maybe yours too. Participants pay just $10 to play. Every $10 makes you eligible to choose from a variety of wines that have been artfully disguised to keep you guessing! And in the end, every participant takes home a bottle and, here’s the awesome part: it could be a very extra-special-but-you-dese</span>rve-it-for-supporting-IHA $30 value or more, bottle of wine! So, no tractors involved at all.<span> </span></p><p>As for the scrumptious meal part of the deal: attendees can choose from three mouth-watering entrees with salad, bread and a glass of wine, tea or a soft drink. Kids under 12 choose from spaghetti marinara, bread, a cookie and soft drink.<span> </span></p><p>No reservation is necessary! Just stop in at the Marian Zio Johno’s anytime from 5pm to 9pm on September 26th.<span> </span></p><p>By taking part in this way-fun event, you’ll be helping IHA continue to provide valuable services for pets and their people in Eastern Iowa. Please, support us and have big fun, stellar food and wine-pull-winning at the same instant! Bring your friends and neighbors too, OK?! Thanks from us and the animals!</p> 2017-08-04 21:00:00 -0500
